 Chapter 1 The Holy Spirit: The Infinite, Personal GodStill, what errors and heresies have crept into the church in the last two thousand years in relation to the Holy Spirit!

He is as much a person as Jesus, but like the angels and the Father, the Holy Spirit does not possess a body.”THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD Pg. 61. The Holy Spirit is expressly called God. In Acts 5:3–42.
