Paul indicates the Holy spirit is God 1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?

As I said in an earlier post the holy spirit is the father active work in our reality. What we perceive as the holy spirit is NOT a person SEPARATE from the father or son....it is them in our reality.

If poke you with my finger through a blanket you wouldn't think that what you feel poking you is another person. It's still me. You just can't perceive it because I'm hidden behind a blanket. That poke you feel IS the holy spirit of God...or the force of God himself in our lives.

(KJV)  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

In older versions or translations in this verse (and many others) the holy spirit is referred to to by using "which"....indicating it's not another person. This is correct grammatically. However many modern translations have opted to go against what is grammatically correct and instead insert a "whom" where it does not belong.

The point is that using pronouns incorrectly does NOT make something a different person....or a person at all.

Thanks = I did not read your earlier post.

However, note that

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10).

Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me (Romans 15:30).

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30).

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insult the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29).

That does seem a separate part of the Godhead

I, personally, see the Word of God as God's way of interacting with the material world and the Spirit of God as God's way of interacting with the spiritual world.
