Question: If you do not believe the Holy Spirit is a person, then what is it? The Bible includes over 100 verses that mention the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God or just the Spirit. Here are four examples: Genesis 1:1-2 NIV: > In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the earth > was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and > the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. John 14:26 NIV: > But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my > name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I > have said to you. Matthew 12:32 NIV: > Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but > anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either > in this age or in the age to come. John 16:7-15 NIV: > But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all > the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he > hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me > because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to > you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the > Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
