Spirit

The Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word..
Acts 10:44

The Holy Spirit is the 3rd Person of the Most Holy Trinity, the Christian Godhead. He is a divine Person in His own right, but exactly how he relates to Christ & the Father is part of the divine mystery. Different groups within the Church tend to emphasize different aspects of the Holy Spirit's work. Pentecostals & charismatics, the fastest growing parts of the Christian church, stress the supernatural gifts, especially healing & speaking in new languages or tongues, while more traditional denominations tend to emphasize the fruit of the Holy Spirit, such as joy & peace evident in a Christian's life. See the letters of St Paul for more details, plus the Gospels of Luke, & John, and the book I quote above, Acts of the Apostles.

Witnesses

 Witnesses of these things..  Acts 5:32 Leftists are funny people. They trust bent lawyers & porn stars if they talk smack about people they hate, but they don’t trust saints, apostles & Holy Mother Church when it tells them about Jesus, the Best Man of All. Seriously, 😳 how bad a judge of character is your average Dem voter?  But it’s not just left wingers. Why would you trust someone on the internet or on TV, or who writes for a newspaper or magazine, or someone you happen to have a blood relationship with, or someone you went to school with, more than God’s Holy Words in the Bible?
