  1. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead John 14:26–28

  2. Who Is the Holy Spirit? • The Holy Spirit is not: • A haint or a ghost • Supernatural energy • The Bible • The emotions • The mind of God • The Father and the Son • The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, He is God, but not the Father and not the Son.

  3. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead • The meaning of “Godhead”— • The word is found in the following passages: • Acts 17:29 • Romans 1:20 • Colossians 2:9 • Godhead or Godhood is the state of being God, possessing the attributes of the divine nature: Deity. • The Father possesses all the attributes (John 17:1–5). • The Son possesses all the attributes (John 1:1–3, 14). • The Spirit possesses all the attributes (Acts 5:3–4).

  4. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead • Proof that there are within the one Godhead three distinct, divine persons. • There were three persons in creation (Genesis 1:1, 26; 2:7; John 1:1; Hebrews 1:2; Job 26:13; 33:4). • There were three persons present at the baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:16–17; Mark 1:9–12; Luke 3:21–22). • There were three persons engaged in anointing Jesus to preach (Luke 4:18; Acts 10:38; Hebrews 1:8–9). • There were three persons involved in effecting the scheme of redemption (John 6:29, 39–40; 14:6, 16–17, 23–26). • There are three with whom the believer has fellowship (Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 2:18; 1 John 4:1–2).

  6. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead • Proof that there are within the one Godhead three distinct, divine persons. • There were three persons in creation (Genesis 1:1, 26; 2:7; John 1:1; Hebrews 1:2; Job 26:13; 33:4). • There were three persons present at the baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:16–17; Mark 1:9–12; Luke 3:21–22). • There were three persons engaged in anointing Jesus to preach (Luke 4:18; Acts 10:38; Hebrews 1:8–9). • There were three persons involved in effecting the scheme of redemption (John 6:29, 39–40; 14:6, 16–17, 23–26). • There are three with whom the believer has fellowship (Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 2:18; 1 John 4:1–2).

  7. “Another Comforter” “Another” (allos) implies one more; not the same one, but the same kind (John 14:16; cf. Matthew 4:21; John 4:35–38; 5:31–37; 12:29). Jesus would not use the word for “another” (heteros) which means “different” (Galatians 1:6, 7; cf. John 19:36, 37; Matthew 8:19–22; 11:3; 12:45) to describe the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:7–15). The Holy Spirit was “another” Comforter as Jesus was a Comforter to the Twelve (John 14:3, 28).

  8. “Another” Necessitates More Matthew 8:21 John 4:38 John 5:32 John 12:29 John 14:16 The same two brothers or two more brothers? The same or more with the same loyalty? Jesus or John the Baptist? (John 5:31) The ones who said, “It thundered”? Jesus or another like Him?

  9. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead • Three divine persons, not three distinct gods. • Polytheism holds that there are many gods with diverse natures and powers (cf. I Kings 20:28; cf. John 14:16). • However, there is only one state of being God in which three persons are revealed to exist. • In the same sense that 7 billion persons are one humanity with respect to their nature (Acts 17:26; Hebrews 2:11). • Clearly there are three persons (Ephesians 4:4–6), all of whom exist as the one God (Mark 12:29). • They all possess the same nature, but they are not the same person.

  10. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead • Is it possible for three to be one? • Many members are one body (I Corinthians 12:24; Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:4–5). • Many workers are one husbandry (I Corinthians 3:8). • A husband and a wife are one flesh (Ephesians 5:31; Matthew 19:6; Mark 10:8; Genesis 2:24). • Two dreams are one dream (Genesis 41:25). • Many humans are one blood (Acts 1 7:26; Hebrews 2:11). • Jesus understood that many can be one (John 17:20–21).

  11. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead • The Holy Spirit is one with the Father & Son: • In doctrine (1 John 4:1–3; Luke 4:18–19; John 7:16) • In works (John 10:37–38; Matthew 12:28) • In love (John 3:16; Romans 5:5–8) • In purpose (Ephesians 3:10–18; Colossians 1:19; 2:9) • In nature (John 1:1–3, Genesis 1:1–2; Acts 5:3–4)

  12. The Holy Spirit & the Godhead • The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, He is God, but not the Father and not the Son. • Godhead is the state of being God, possessing the attributes of the divine nature: Deity. • The Father possesses all the attributes (John 17:1–5). • The Son possesses all the attributes (John 1:1–3, 14). • The Spirit possesses all the attributes (Acts 5:3–4). • The Godhead is one in nature, purpose, doctrine, works and love, but not only one person.
