    The Holy Spirit Himself indwells and seals us, per the scriptures!

    No. God is Yahweh. Isaiah 43:10-11.

    the Holy Spirit is NOT just an agent of Jesus, as he is equally Yahweh!

    If both Persons of the same Spirit, then you are wrong yet again. No verse that I have found indicates there is more than one Divine Eternal Spirit.

    Is the "one essence" the one Spirit of Yahweh? That is the Question.

    Yet again, by implication, a false charge is hurled by the foremost hurler of false charges. Since the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity, you would thinik even an unstudied Calvinist would know He is not a force.

    Once again more diversion, if Christ and the Father are in us, and the Helper is in us, then we are indwelt with all three Person's of the Trinity. Which Persons will JesusFan cast out?

    Yet another false charge, as no one claimed the Holy Spirit is always the agent of Jesus. This all these folks have, questions that imply falsehood.

    Here is an orthodox illustration of our Trinity's characteristics.

    If we add to the center word "God" with "the Spirit of Yahweh" have we advocated heresy?

    If we add to the lower description, The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, have we misrepresented the Third Person of the Trinity?

    Is it not true that all three Persons of the Trinity are the Spirit of Yahweh? What verse suggests otherwise?

    Is not the Paraclete with which we are indwelt the Third Person of the Trinity? What verse suggests otherwise?

    God the Father and the Holy Spirit are Spirit in essence, yet not same person!

    JesusFan claims the Holy Spirit does not act as Christ's agent in witnessing for Him as the Spirit of Truth. I kid you not.

    You are the One claiming One Person. I am claiming One God in Three Persons. See the OP.

    I see no answers yet to these essence of God questions:

    1) Is it not true that all three Persons of the Trinity are the Spirit of Yahweh? What verse suggests otherwise?

    2) Is not the Paraclete with which we are indwelt the Third Person of the Trinity? What verse suggests otherwise?

    Isa 61:1
    The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,
    Because the LORD anointed me
    To bring good news to the humble;
    He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
    To proclaim release to captives
    And freedom to prisoners;

    Here we have the Spirit of the LORD (Yahweh) being equated with the Holy Spirit as this verse describes the Messiah, and Christ was anointed with the Holy Spirit.(Luke 4:18-21; Acts 10:38)
