You mean one must believe in the basic belief of the trinity to be saved right?

He doesn't need a "helping hand." The Holy Spirit is directly from Him, and just means His power and force, the way He gets things done. It's not something separate from Him.
Can a force make specific emphasis? (Rom 8:26)
Maybe you can post a lexicon that define the Holy Spirit as force. To settle this once and for all.
As you will not give lexicon definition of HS during the time of its usage.

If you interpret Bible words without consulting lexicons you will be misguided, just like "earth' as human society.
I am not fond of adding my own interpretation as it would be a man's contribution and not of God then.
Bible text interpreted by Bible text is safe from eisegesis.
The meaning of EISEGESIS is the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one's own ideas.
You haven't commented on Genesis 11:1. It shows that the "earth" is human society, and you can see that without referring to your lexicons.
"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech." (KJV) Tell me that's not referring to human society.

You can settle it by thinking for yourself. The HS can be grieved because Jehovah is grieved. Also, a Person cannot be divided up 120 ways and appear on peoples' shoulders, as in the upper room. Think!
As you will not give lexicon definition of HS during the time of its usage.
I'll give you one; (
1. (holy) of persons whose services God employs,
2. (Spirit) or divine God.
Acts 2:4
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
NT:40 hagios, hagia, hagion
1. properly reverend, worthy of veneration: Luke 1:49
a. used of things which on account of some connection with God possess a certain distinction and claim to reverence, as places sacred to God which are not to be profaned, Acts 7:33;
b. of persons whose services God employs
2. set apart for God, to be, as it were, exclusively his; followed by a genitive or a dative: Luke 2:23
3. of sacrifices and offerings; prepared for God with solemn rite, pure, clean
4. in a moral sense, pure, sinless, upright, holy: 1 Peter 1:16

NT:4151 pneuma (pnyoo'-mah); from NT:4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:
KJV - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Compare NT:5590.

If you interpret Bible words without consulting lexicons you will be misguided, just like "earth' as human society.
I am not fond of adding my own interpretation as it would be a man's contribution and not of God then.
Bible text interpreted by Bible text is safe from eisegesis.
The meaning of EISEGESIS is the interpretation of a text (as of the Bible) by reading into it one's own ideas.
You haven't commented on Genesis 11:1. It shows that the "earth" is human society, and you can see that without referring to your lexicons.
"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech." (KJV) Tell me that's not referring to human society.
It could mean "people" as one of the "land inhabitants", but not solely means human society.
Human society is a group of people who share a common lifestyle, organization, and culture, and who are involved with each other through persistent relationships:
