It is believed by many that the Holy Spirit is a separate distinct, personal being other than God the Father and the Son, rather than it being the Spirit of God or the Spirit of Christ; meaning their own Spirit.

The reason being, they claim that Scriptures refer to the Holy Spirit as “He” and is said to be displaying all the attributes of a person and is seemingly doing things that a real person would do.

The Biblical data completely repudiates the idea that the holy Spirit is not the Spirit of God and Spirit of Christ. While we understand from sister White that the holy Spirit is the 3rd Person of the Godhead, a conscious, distinct personality outside of the tangible forms of Father and Son, It is still the actual Spirit of God and His Son. Any doctrine that says otherwise does not pass the test of inspiration.
