What is the Holy Ghost ?
I have heard it teached , Jesus was man, flesh and blood, but filled with Gods Spirit. It's that same spirit that fills us today. God living inside of us.
Thats a childs explanation. But I ask the studied here, What is the Holy Ghost ? Scriptures please .

This is more of a Godhead issue than deep waters.

It maybe, but mind you, I am not asking from the Godhead perspective. My question is not "who" is the Holy Ghost, but "what" is the Holy Ghost. What is it essentially in our lives ? I guess that would include where it comes from or from who it comes from. But what is its purpose in our lives beyond the classic answer of "to embold" us.
If you had someone come to your church who has never stepped into an apostolic church before and recieve the baptism of the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues then turns around to you and ask; "what was that? what is this feeling? what do I have?. How would you begin the bible study of explaining it to them ?

I'd go to these scriptures
John 3:3-8, Matthew 3:11, Luke 24:44-49; John 7:37-39, John 14:26, John 16:7-11, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:17, Acts 8, Acts 10, Acts 19:1-6, and good for new believers alike Romans 8:1-4, 9-14

Re: What is the Holy Ghost ?
And Peter gives the astonishing answer:
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Re: What is the Holy Ghost ?
This is my description of what it feels like to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Are you looking for something along these lines?
