Encounters with God (the Father) are called Theophanies, encounters with Jesus are called Christophanies, but what about encounters with the Holy Spirit? Is there a specific term for an encounter with the third person of the Trinity?

Note: by encounter, I mean any sort of self-authenticating experience through which a supernatural being makes its existence or presence known, obvious and clear (i.e. reveals itself) to a person.


Related: According to Trinitarians, can the personhood of the Holy Spirit be verified experientially instead of just assented to intellectually?

    According to traditional Christianity, all theophanies are Christophanies; at any rate, the term you're looking for is pneumatophany, as in pneumatology or pneumatomachi.

  • What do you mean an 'encounter' ? Are not Christians full of the Holy Spirit at all times ?

  • @NigelJ - Is there a biblical basis for that statement?
