Christianity: Is "Holy Spirit" with Catholicism or Protestantism or with no Christian-denomination, please? Regards
I don't think it's with any of them. It's just another manifestation of God, probably a powerful one that flows through us like energy. Just my current theory.
That's a very Jehovah's Witness kind of opinion. JWs, by the way, are neither Catholic nor Protestant.
Did Jesus define "Holy Spirit", please? If yes, please quote from him.I believe the H Spirit to be a Spirit, [not a separate person, and an aspect of God,
Who is called God of gods, Jehovah, Jesus, Jah, and other names
The Holy Spirit lives within each Christ believer no matter what title they put over their church. And the Holy Spirit is all over the world reaching people.Christianity: Is "Holy Spirit" with Catholicism or Protestantism or with no Christian-denomination, please?

"Maybe some branches of Christianity don't believe in a Holy Spirit"The Holy Spirit is pretty fundamental to Christianity. It's mentioned 10 times in the Bible. Part of the trinity per catholicism. Maybe some branches of Christianity don't believe in a Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the gift from God promised.
Peter said to them, “Each one of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God’s gift, the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:38)
14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.Did Jesus define "Holy Spirit", please? If yes, please quote from him.

The Holy Spirit is one of the three Persons of God in Catholicism and in Protestantism. Any Catholic or Protestant who denies the Holy Spirit is a heretic and has neither tradition or scriptural authority for the denial.

But JWs say that they are the "only true Christians".That's a very Jehovah's Witness kind of opinion. JWs, by the way, are neither Catholic nor Protestant.

Yet there are Bible believers who say that "Holy Spirit" assisted in selecting the books of Bible, and is refection of other book that were not included in the Bible. How far it is correct, please?

If Bahaullah defined or identified "Holy Spirit" in a straightforward manner then please quote from Kitab-i-Iqan, the most core book of Bahaullah. Right, please?Really? I was trying to attempt to look at things from a little bit more of perhaps a Baha'i and panentheist angle.
"The Holy Spirit is Gods invisible energy"I'd agree with that. The Holy Spirit is Gods invisible energy. Kinda like Chi from the east for example. The Bible even mentions if you have the holy spirit you cannot be possessed but if you are possessed the only way to rid yourself of it is to accept the holy spirit.
Very much like Chi which is positive and negative energy. You want to keep positive energy to grow, heal, and stay alive while negative energy can make you powerful it will decay/poison you eventually killing.
