Only an indoctrination can be so certain of what is not found in the bible. The Jews rejected Jesus as God. But when in all the OT did the Jews think that the Spirit of God was a separate Being than God? God is Spirit. God is ONE Spirit. Read your bible to see how many Spirits are in God. Is the Spirit of Christ a separate person from Christ? Is the Spirit of God a separate person from God?
The heresy is to separate God from His Spirit.
God is ONE Spirit in TWO Persons, Father and Son.
That was the apostolic teaching until 325 AD when Constantine forced a compromise on the bishops who were present on the council. They settled for the trinity for 2 main reasons. To refute Arianism. And to maintain control of men over the church based on reducing the Holy Spirit to being in name only ...NOT IN POWER...(Which no man can control) Ever since then we rarely see an outbreak of actual resurrection life based on the empowering of the Spirit of God. Instead we have settled for a Babylon of captivity to religious dogmas and ideologies that don't bring life.
Ecclesiastical hierarchies bring religion not life.
God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit- 3 Divine Persons, not 2.
Jesus used personal pronouns when referring to the Holy Spirit:
"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away
, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send
Him to you. "And
He, when
He comes,
will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. "But when
He,
the Spirit of truth, comes,
He will guide you into all the truth; for
He will not speak on
His own initiative, but whatever
He hears,
He will speak; and
He will disclose to you what is to come. "
He will glorify Me, for
He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. "All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that
He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. "(John 16:7-15).
