No entity called "the holy spirit" is called or listed as "God"

ACTS 5:

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have

lied to the Holy Spirit


and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing?

You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

What? Do you just ignore Acts 5:3-5?

How can you lie to an impersonal force like the wind?

Lying to the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3) IS lying to God (Acts 5:5)

The Holy Spirit is Omniscient (1 Cor. 2:11);
He is eternal (Hebrews 9:14)
He is co-Creator (Psalm 104:30; Job 26:13; Gen. 1:2)
He is omnipresent (Ps. 139:7-10)
He is one Person within the divine Trinity (2 Cor. 13:14; Matt. 28:19-20)

And note that Jesus, when referencing baptizing in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- says NAME (singular)...not "names" (plural)...

He shares the same Name identity -- per Jesus.

(If you don't like that, take it up with THE Son of God)

I'm not...all these are easily explainable by just taking these verses for what they say...it IS the holy spirit of God. It's not a separate person from God. In the case of teh indwelling spirit in Christians it's the spirit of Christ. In the general sense of God's spirit on earth it IS his spirit, his presence, his love, on earth.

But it's NOT a separate and co-equal person for all the reasons and scriptures I posted.
