This is all in the word, God the Father is a person separate from the Holy Ghost -- totally separate. When we say the Holy Spirit, we do not mean the personal spirit-being of the Father. He's a separate personality. Do you know that the Holy Spirit has a soul and a body, separate from that of Jesus and the Father

(the above is you quoting Mr. Hinn).

While this statement cannot be proven true it also cannot be proven false. I see nothing inconsistent with scripture here but do see things that scripture does not tell us.

First, all men are three part beings, Body, soul (Mind will and emotions) and spirit.

God the Son (Jesus) is a 4 part being: body, soul, spirit and divinity (that special thing that makes Him God). He is all man and all God. God the Holy Spirit can be seen from scripture as at least three parts: soul (since He can be offended he has emotions) Spirit (obviously) and divinity (He is God). God the Father likewise from scripture can be seen as being at least three parts: Soul (he has mind, will and emotion) Spirit and Divinity. The question is do the Father and the Holy Spirit have bodies? Scripture doesn't tell us. Although it does refer to the hand of God etc, these references could be figurative instead of literal. We really don't know but we will find out when we get home.

So, while Mr Hinn has (possibly) done some things wrong I don't think this particular example can be used against him.

Hinn's view on the Holy Ghost having a "body" is very odd, that is, at least, I've never heard that position. But me having not heard it doesn't mean it isn't right...

Now each of the trinity being a triune in itself, that for sure I never heard, and seems alien. Hinn is, how I'll say..., "quirky" in this regard? Anyways I think it is a little interesting. Funny how some will rave about this guy's view on the trinity, but overlook the descretion of religion with "800" numbers, hard-sells and guilt-sells for moolah.
