Six symbols are listed. In this material, the Holy Ghost is depicted through six distinct images—typically the dove, fire, wind, water, oil, and a light or cloud. Each symbol points to a facet of the Spirit’s work: the dove suggests peace and purity; fire denotes purification and power; wind represents Spirit-breath and movement; water stands for cleansing and life; oil signifies anointing and empowerment; and light or cloud conveys divine presence and guidance. Remembering these six images helps you recall the different ways the Spirit is described in Scripture and teaching, which is why the correct count is six.
