Wasn't this something He could have managed on His own ??
IOW, by asserting the Holy Spirit was extant to under take this task, it weakens the case for the Trinity since Jesus seems to not be available at this point and for those claiming He is just as eternal as God and as capable, Scripture is not helping to reinforce this tenant of faith.
None of that really happened, it's all just a made up story. So I wouldn't stress about it too much.
Ah, but realize every time a 'believer' realizes(s)he has encountered 13 Biblical inconsistencies, screw ups, contradictions, and/or idiocies, we get a new recruit.
It's why we're here.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
