So then I would assume that you think the Biblical account of Pentecost is all myth

We believe the Pentecost happened. Certainly the disciples experienced a life-changing event that made them into Apostles. Luke was no eyewitness. Whether there were trumpets or whether this is just the culturally influenced way of narrating things is another matter.

Being filled with the Holy Spirit can be interpreted in many ways. We see it as our spiritual life in Christ, motivated and sustained by His love; not some alien presence inside of us.

I see. So for you being filled with the Holy Spirit really refers to YOU, and what YOU make of your spiritual life, helped by God of course. I'm virtually speechless. :)
