Texas RAT, you state that the Holy Spirit is merely the power of God. The Spirit is personal, being God in His very essence. The Spirit is spoken of as teaching us all truth, appointing church leaders over the sheep of Christ. The Spirit is Himself God. I don't believe in the Trinity and don't intend to get into a theological debate: this is all I'm saying. The Holy Ghost is God the Father in His very essence, coming to mankind in a form in which we can handle Him. The Holy Ghost is personally equivalent to both the Father and His Son (Matthew 10:20 and Galatians 4:6). The Father is YHWH Himself, in relation to the Man He became and fathered in the incarnation: Jesus Christ.
