Well, as I have stated at least a couple of times, it was all in my previous post with all the verses that you largely ignored. Apart from that, it was also in my latest post and in what you quoted for the above response:
you called the Holy Spirit an Advocate. But, as I stated, advocates are
only persons. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that the Holy Spirit is a person, the third divine person.
Okay, but that doesn't address what you quoted.
He didn't "receive His own Spirit from the Father." The "another advocate" only makes sense because "another" means one that is similar to Jesus, yet distinct from him. That is the plain meaning of those words. And,
again, and advocate can only be a person. There is no other option there and that fits with the Holy Spirit being "another," since Jesus is also a person.
Yes, but you need to pay attention to the context:
Rom 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit,
if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Rom 8:10 But
if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
through his Spirit who dwells in you. (ESV)
Notice that Paul equates "the Spirit of God" with "the Spirit of Christ," "the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead," and "his Spirit." It hardly needs pointing out that three times Paul says that the Holy Spirit indwells believers and once states the opposite ("does not have"). Of course he also says that "Christ is in you," but Jesus already told us that he would live in us, as you have given already.
We can also look at what Peter said, that the OT prophets prophesied by the "Spirit of Christ":
1Pe 1:10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully,
1Pe 1:11 inquiring what person or time
the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. (ESV)
Peter, too, is equating the Holy Spirit with the Spirit of Christ, going as far back as the OT to do so.
So, we know that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit indwell believers, however, the Father and the Son indwell believers through the Holy Spirit. That is one of the functions of the Holy Spirit.
Yes, and so is the church:
1Co 3:16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? (ESV)
Of course, your statement means that the Holy Spirit lives in us, so it necessarily follows that it is the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit that indwell believers.
And who Jesus sent.
Both the Father
and the Son send the Holy Spirit.
And, as Jesus said, he
also sends the Spirit (John 16:7). Jesus also said the Holy Spirit would dwell in believers (John 14:17). Why do you seem to be content to ignore both of those clear statements?
This is exceedingly dishonest. You completely ignored the numerous passages I gave which strongly imply the personhood of the Holy Spirit a post. And now you're dancing around and ignoring clear statements by Jesus and Paul, both that the Holy Spirit will indwell believers, that the Holy Spirit is a person, and that the Holy Spirit is also know as the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of his Son, etc.
It strongly appears that your beliefs are interpreting Scripture, rather than letting Scripture inform your beliefs, hence why you don't want to address those things that simply don't fit your theology. That means you're taking everything about the Holy Spirit out of context.
