But the holy spirit isn't another "person".

"And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."
Ephesians 4:30.


How does one grieve that which is NOT a 'person'?


John 14:16
"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;


Strangely; I've always considered an entity called he to be a 'person'.

But; I'm kinda funny that way.

"And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Ephesians 4:30. How does one grieve that which is NOT a 'person'

Act 2:18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

How does one "pour a person"?

John 7:37-39
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink. 38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

How does one drink a person?

1 Thessalonians 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.

How does one quench a person?

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water to repentance. but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire

How does one get baptized with a person?

We would never say any of these things about Christ or the Father. They're impersonal terms.

In addition if the holy spirit were another person then why does Christ call God the father his father and NOT the holy spirit?

Matthew 10:32-33 32 Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

This is important. Christ said his father was in heaven. There are multiple visions of the heavenly realm especially in revelation and NO HOLY SPIRIT person is there. None. Ever.
