Mark, Luke and John bring out the same details.

After Jesuss had been resurrected by his God and Father-
Acts 1:1- In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach
2- until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the holy spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
3- After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and
spoke about the kingdom of God.
4- On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command:
"Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
5- For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the holy spirit."
Now, put Tradition aside, and MEDITATE on what's said here; is the holy spirit a GHOST?
Are they to be BAPTISED in a GHOST-GOD?
Or, is it referring to the "Power of the Most High", as the spirit was described by Gabriel?
The Apostles never had a Ghost-God materialize and give them instruction,
but were being directed by the Power of God to do so.
AND, notice what the 'Gospel' Jesus preached was about?

Let's get to the heart of the matter. If you died today, do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you would be with God in His presence forever?

Acts 1:6- So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7- He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
8- But you will receive POWER when the holy spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
9 -After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Again, the Holy Spirit described as POWER!

Why do you insist on changing the subject, rather than taking about the scriptures I list?

The scriptures state men wrote them down as guided by God.
Acts 1:15- In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty)
16- and said, "Brothers and sisters, the Scripture had to be fulfilled in which the holy spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those
who arrested Jesus.
God does things with the POWER of Holy Spirit, Holy "Breath", "Wind"!
No Ghost possessed David and spoke thru him; God's power moved David to write down what Jehovah was showing him.

This does not describe the Holy Spirit as power. It says power comes with the Holy Spirit.

God does things with the POWER of Holy Spirit, Holy "Breath", "Wind" (as it means
in Hebrew and Greek) . Notice how God REVEALS it to all Christians- not as
a Ghost, or any kind of Person, as God, Christ and angels have:
Acts 2:1- When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2- Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled
the whole house where they were sitting.
3- They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest
on each of them.
4- All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
God WANTED them to know what IT was; His POWER!
The sound of WIND (spirit), the physical appearance, not of little FACES-
but power- LIKE 'tongues' of 'flame'; FLAME the one source of energy and
power they ALL used!

Acts 2:16- this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17- And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out 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;
18- yea, and on my menservants and my maidservants in those days I will pour out my spirit; and they shall prophesy.
Is one of 3 'God-Persons' "poured out" by one or two of the OTHER 'God-Persons'?
Our does God "pour out" POWER to His believers?

The distinction between Christ and God is seen once again:
Acts 2:22- Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves also know
23- him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;
24- whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25- For David says concerning him:
I foresaw the LORD (Jehovah in Hebrew) always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26- Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27- For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your holy one to see corruption.
28- You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.
Jesus died- and regardless of the spin churches give John 2- it was GOD, not Jesus, who resurrected him.

Acts 2:29- Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30- Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
31- he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
32- This Jesus, God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.
33- Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the holy spirit, He has poured out this which you see and hear.
34- For David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself says, Jehovah [Greek substituted "LORD"] said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,
35- till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet.
36- Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.
AGAIN, the CLEAR contrast between God and Christ.
God was NOT the Christ, anointing 'Himself'!
Jesus sits at GOD'S right hand, NOT next to Himself!
And it was GOD who made him Lord and Christ.
God did NOT make HIMSELF so!

GOD (not Jesus) MADE Christ Lord; he wasn't ALREADY Lord.

Because eternal destiny depends on the question I am asking.
We can discuss the Trinity till we're blue in the face but what will that amount to? The crux of the matter is our relationship with God. Have we been redeemed by Him and do we know for sure that our sins have been forgiven?

Acts 3:12- When Peter saw this, he said to them: "People of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we
had made this man walk?
13- The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his SERVANT Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him
before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.
14- You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
15- You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.
God is NO ONE'S servant, and never died! Jesus was and did!

Acts 3: 17- Now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.
18- But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.
19- Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord ("Jehovah" in the
book quoted from),
20- and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you even Jesus.
21 -Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
22- For Moses said, 'The Lord ("Jehovah" in the book quoted from), your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own
people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
23- Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.'
24- And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came afterwards, also proclaimed these days.
25- You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God gave to your fathers, saying to Abraham,
And in your posterity shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
26- God, having raised up his SERVANT, sent him to you first, to bless you in turning every one of you from your wickedness.
