Holy Ghost - The third Person of the adorable Trinity, Whose personality is proved (1.) from the fact that the attributes of personality, as intelligence and volition, are ascribed to Him (John 14:17, John 14:26; John 15:26; 1 Corinthians 2:10, 1 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Corinthians 12:11). He reproves, helps, glorifies, intercedes (John 16:7; Romans 8:26). (2.) He executes the offices peculiar only to a person. The very nature of these offices involves personal distinction (Luke 12:12; Acts 5:32; Acts 15:28; Acts 16:6; Acts 28:25; 1 Corinthians 2:13; Hebrews 2:4; Hebrews 3:7; 2 Peter 1:21). His divinity is established (1.) from the fact that the names of God are ascribed to him (Exodus 17:7; Psalms 95:7; compare Hebrews 3:7); and (2.) that divine attributes are also ascribed to Him, Omnipresence (Psalms 139:7; Ephesians 2:17, Ephesians 2:18; 1 Corinthians 12:13); Omniscience (1 Corinthians 2:10, 1 Corinthians 2:11); Omnipotence (Luke 1:35; Romans 8:11); Eternity (Hebrews 9:4). (3.) Creation is ascribed to Him (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalms 104:30), and the working of miracles (Matthew 12:28; 1 Corinthians 12:9). (4.) Worship is required and ascribed to Him (Isaiah 6:3; Acts 28:25; Romans 9:1; Revelation 1:4; Matthew 28:19).
