I will try to interpret. These are letters of the alphabet at random, without the letters c,j,m,q,v and x

If not, we need the gifts of the Holy Ghost, which was Paul's problem.

I think Acts must be understood as written after Paul, and I see Pentecost as about a new Baptism - into the godhead, not just washing away sins.

Why does this religion look primarily Romano Graeco Persian with a Judaic gloss? Where was Paul from again?

Pentecost? Baptism? I thought these were all fictitious events. How did fiction end up in the Sacred Bible?
