>I want to know why early christians got so invested onto this ?
Because they knew the power and limits of spirituality. The holy spirit is a tulpa you have to build yourself and encourage your community of believers to also build(in a community it is also much less likely you will build it wrong, inviting the devil or falling in love with your own reflection). This is the keystone to all of christianity.

You can’t really be an orthodox Christian without having a charismatic life. - Chesterton

I used to think like that but then I learned about tulpas and realised prayer actually worked(in a way) and that people aren't just pretending. They are just coping with genuine(in their experience/head) spiritual experience. Pic highly related.

I highly recommend reading this if you weren't raised within a ritualistic religious family and thus the whole "belief/faith" thing sounds crazy.

>Spinoza thinks there is such a god because he "feels it down inside" lol
Don't discount tulpas just because of your modern western mental health sensibilities, cultural anthropology and modern neuroscience have other things to say about hearing and feeling God.
