  • There is only one Spirit of God.
  • Yes, God is a spirit. God is invisible to human eyes ( see Exodus 33:20; John 1:18; 1Ti 1:17), and he is alive and exercises unsurpassed force throughout the universe. ( compare 2Corinthians 3:3; Isaiah 40:25-31) Christ Jesus states: “God is a Spirit [Pneu´ma].” In the Bible, the Greek pneu´ma (spirit) comes from pne´o, meaning “breathe or blow,” and the Hebrew ru´ach (spirit) is believed to come from a root having the same meaning. Ru´ach and pneu´ma, then, basically mean “breath” but have extended meanings beyond that basic sense The apostle writes: “Now Jehovah is the Spirit.” (John 4:24; 2Corinthians 3:17, 18) God’s active force is his Holy Spirit. By far the majority of occurrences of ru´ach and pneu´ma relate to God’s spirit, his active force, his holy spirit. His Holy Spirit is not a person. Not until the fourth century C.E. did the teaching that the holy spirit was a person and part of the “Godhead” become official church dogma. Early church “fathers” did not so teach; Justin Martyr of the second century C.E. taught that the holy spirit was an ‘influence or mode of operation of the Deity’; Hippolytus likewise ascribed no personality to the holy spirit. The Scriptures themselves unite to show that God’s holy spirit is not a person but is God’s active force by which he accomplishes his purpose and executes his will.
