>> All sin separates us from God. <<

God forgives sin. God offers fellowship to the Sinner. Jesus bridges the gap of separation.

>> The Holy Spirit is not a person. <<

Oh?

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforterof the same kind as Myself,
that he may abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. . . .
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" (Jn. 14:16-17,26 AV; my comments and bolded emphases added).
Jesus said, and the Holy Scripture records it for all to read, that the Holy Spirit is a person Whose Name/Title is grammatically neuter; though He is in fact, like Jesus, masculine in Person and Being.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the nameneuter, singular of the Father,masculine, singular,
and of the Sonmasculine, singular, and of the Holy Ghostneuter, singular: . . ." (Mt. 28:19 AV; grammar facts in superscript added).
Your claim is incorrect, and a sin of ignorance.

It is obvious that the Holy Spirit is masculine in Being, not in Person, from everything you gave.

Also, if Jesus bridges the gap, then, as long as we repented once and accepted Christ, we can sin without ever repenting again, then? It must be true, or Jesus alone doesn’t “cover” it all, for all the rest of time. We still repent and ask for forgiveness in our ongoing prayers because every sin separates us from God and we know this lack of personal responsibility is wrong if we truly have respect for what Christ has provided.

Unlike many others here, I will give verses that clearly describe the true knowledge from the Bible. Read 2 Corinthians 4:7-18, 1 Peter 3:14-22, and Romans 6.
