Roy Gingrich has an interesting note on the possible symbolism of the signs of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost:

? The rushing mighty wind—A symbol of the Spirit’s POWER (to convince, convict, and convert)

? The cloven tongues of fire—A symbol of the Spirit’s PURIFICATION (of sinners from the guilt of sin and of saints from the pollution of sin)

? The speaking with tongues—A symbol of the Spirit’s worldwide PROCLAMATION of the gospel in many languages during the church age.
