And what does it mean to receive it?

have you ever had a feeling that something was wrong or you should go a different direction instead of the normal one you take while driving? Or the thought in the back of your mind that you shouldn't be doing something? That my friend is the Holy Ghost

The Holy Ghost is the same as the Holy Spirit and He is God. He is the third person of the trinity. He is of the same essence as God, same attributes, mind and power. There are other names for the Holy Ghost such as the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of God and many others. He is received when one is born again. He comes to indwell the believer and empowers the believer to live a godly life. He is the author of scripture and the one who interprets the scripture.

The Holy Ghost is the spirit of Jesus Christ.
The Holy Ghost could only dwell in believer when Jesus ascended into heaven.
Believe that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh ...believe that He died for your sins....believe that He rose again from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the Father.

The word ' ghost' is mis-leading. It implies a separate entity. a spiritual being that can think for itself. It has been wrongly taught to try and prove the false trinity doctrine.
In fact, it is properly called...the Holy Spirit, and it is god's active force, or power, and NOT a SEPARATE spiritual entity or person.
Just like we use electricity to accomplish work, so God uses his holy spirit to do so.
Throughout the Bible, is is given, asked for, granted, prayed for...but never prayed TO.\
It is never NAMED. Similarly, how could you NAME electricity or solar power. It is just a FORCE.
Admittedly, it is in the Bible, personalised, to help us understand better its wonderful workings. But people have wrongfully attributed to it a separate personality.
The trinity doctrine has wrongfully accredited it with equality in power with God. Along with Jesus. But Jesus always stated he was lesser than his Father. Even Jesus was 'granted' Holy Spirit to carry out his miracles.
When the woman touched his robe, Jesus felt POWER drain from him. This is the power of the Holy Spirit granted to him by his Father in heaven.

The Holy Spirit is part of God, He is the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13). He guides us in truth and glorifies God. To receive Him is to receive the truth.

some insight into the holy spirit/ghost. the spirit can be received ordinarily in baptism, the book of acts shows this however the book of acts shows other ways in which the spirit is received in other terms.
