Often this debate focuses on the Son of God. But I would like to focus on the Holy Spirit.
My challenge to the Oneness Pentecostals and other Modalists is simple:
That the Holy Spirit is fully God (which includes His Personhood), is a given in the debate with a Oneness adherent, thus, I say the following with that given in mind. If others who think that the Holy Spirit is an "it" or some "thing" wish to enter the debate, pleasde explain what the Holy Spirit of God can possibly be, if not fully God?
To the Oneness I say:
The Lord says that the Holy Spirit "....proceeds from the Father" (John 15:26).
Obviously, there are TWO PERSONS described here. The One Who proceeds from the First, and the One from Whom the Second proceeds.
Two Persons. How can there be anything else?
