In Christianity the *"spirit of God"* is commonly viewed as the Holy Spirit, the Third person of the Holy Trinity.
I am looking, for the less common view, the unpopular view that the *"spirit of God"* is related to the *"spirit of created Wisdom"* in Proverbs8:22, which Christianity also commonly viewed as personification only of Jesus Christ, and to Catholicism, a personification of the Jesus Christ and also the Blessed Virgin Mary.
I am looking for denominations, theologians or biblical scholars whose biblical interpretation of *"spirit of God"*, does not point to the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, but to a *"created spirit"*, a *"created spirit"* that emanates from God, a *"created spirit"* distinct from the Holy Spirit.
Its like, how the Book of Wisdom described it in Wisdom Chapter 7 and Book of Proverbs, a *"created spirit"*, but not the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Most Holy Trinity.

>*For she is a vapour of the power of God, and a certain pure emanation of the glory of the almighty God: and therefore no defiled thing cometh into her.* -Wisdom7:25
New American Standard Bible
>*“The LORD created me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.*-Proverbs8:22
The view that the *"spirit of God"* is distinct from the Holy Spirit will support the narration, if we continue to read the whole chapter 8 of Book of Proverbs, that speaks of the *"spirit of created Wisdom"* as a beloved companion of God, a beloved daughter, and an *"artisan"*.
>30 then was I beside him as artisan;* i
>I was his delight day by day,
>playing before him all the while,
>31 Playing over the whole of his earth,
>having my delight with human beings.-Proverbs8:30-31
Looking at Wisdom7:25, Proverbs8:22, Proverbs8:30-31, the uncommon view that the *"spirit of God"* is not the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity can be seen.
In closing, I would like to repeat, for clarity sake, that I am looking for views and teachings, who sees the *"spirit of God"*, as a *"created divine or holy spirit"*, distinct from the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Most Holy Trinity.
