Question for the believers of our Triune God. Is Yahweh one Spirit or three spirits?
The question is are these different names of one spirit or many divine spirits?
Matthew 3:16 - Spirit of God
Matthew 10:20 - Spirit of the Father
Luke 4:18 - Spirit of the Lord
John 14:17 - Spirit of Truth (the Helper)
Acts 16:7 - Spirit of Jesus
Romans 1:4 - Spirit of Holiness
Romans 8:2 - Spirit of Life
Romans 8:9 - Spirit of Christ
Romans 8:11 - Spirit of Him who raised Jesus
Romans 8:15 - Spirit of Adoption
Galatians 4:6 - Spirit of His Son
Ephesians 1:13 - Spirit of the promise (Holy Spirit)
1 Peter 4:14 - Spirit of Glory
Matthew 3:16
After He was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and settling on Him,
I had expected the self proclaimed experts in Greek grammar to point out that in the phrase "Spirit of God" the Greek word translated "Spirit" is singular. But would this reference to the one Person of the Trinity, the third Person, preclude other Person's could not have a different or the same Spirit? I think not.
1Co 6:17
But the one being joined to the Lord is united in spirit with Him.
1Co 12:9
to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
1Co 12:13
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
Eph 2:18
for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Eph 4:4
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
Phl 1:27
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Based on the above, the Bible clearly presents one divine Spirit. In Romans 6:3 we were all baptized, spiritually immersed, in Christ Jesus.and made to drink one Spirit. Thus we were all enlightened by the Divine Spirit's revelation of the gospel, becoming partakers of the Holy Spirit.
And Jesus says we are in Him, and He is in us. So being immersed into One Spirit means we are immersed in Christ and He and the Holy Spirit (our Helper) are said to be in us.
Since He and the Father are said to be in us, one Divine Spirit (the Spirit of Yahweh) appears to be shared with all Three Persons of the Trinity.
