The Holy Ghost Was Not Unique To Pentecost
The Holy Ghost <1>The “Holy Spirit”, the “Spirit of God” and the “Holy Ghost” are all one and the same. Regardless which expression is used, they have the same meaning. This Ghost (or Spirit) is Holy (of God). The Bible often reflects this type of phenomenon as a movement of the “Holy Ghost”, “Spirit of God” or “God” acting upon or within a believer (1 Cor 6:19). (See also. Verses Where “He” & “Him” Should Be Referred To As “It”) was also given to men and women before Pentecost, therefore events which “occurred” on the day of Pentecost were not necessarily more unique than any other miraculous event occurring with John (being born with the Holy Ghost) as well as Jesus Christ.

For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mothers’ womb.
