The work of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost had been to ensure that the minds and hearts of all the disciples of Christ would be cleansed/purified and filled with self-control. This is because there had to be spiritual strength received from God via the Holy Spirit by the disciples of Christ to overcome the temptations to sin. The conviction towards every committed sin had also been important for every disciple of Christ because the Holy Spirit would make them realize and repent for their past sins.
