I am by no means a scripture expert. But, perhaps the most recognized readings about the Holy Spirit is proclaimed during the Pentecost Vigil.
1 Reading Acts 2:1-11
2 Reading 1 Cor. 12:3b-7,12-13
Gospel John 20:19-23

Also, it is stated, "All who turn to Him and BELIEVE will be forgiven and will receive the Holy Spirit.
--Acts 2:37-38, 3:19-26

My experiences with the Holy Spirit have been very real, and I will testify that my whole life. But I don't think I could have had those experiences if I hadn't believed.

Extra 411: "In Greek, the name for the Holy Spirit is PARAKLETOS, which means 'one who comes alongside and helps'. What a reassurance to know that we are not alone as we try to live the Christian life. The Holy Spirit is constantly with us, to provide peace as well as the strength we need to serve God."

In other words, we don't need to have a huge conference like Steubenville to have the Holy Spirit with us. Your friend just needs to have FAITH: another gift given to us through the Holy Spirit.

Hope this helps!
