The Holy Spirit

Who or what is the Holy Spirit?
Acts 2 "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tonguesa as the Spirit enabled them."
Confusion comes from oversimplification. The facts are known. How we put them together is our weakest point of failure. We know that the Holy Spirit can divide up so that many many individuals all receive His manifestations simultaneously. We know that He comes to each one of many simultaneously as a person in some cases speaking to them with real words and real personality. If that were God directly speaking then God would speak to one at a time. Yet all hear the person of the Holy Spirit at once. If it were the Son of God then again many, many would have to wait their turn. Yet the Holy Spirit means tens or hundreds of millions of believers can be fed at once by His manifestations.
