Answer · God Is One

Is the Holy Ghost another person beside the Father?

Scripture moves between Spirit of God, Spirit of the Father, Spirit of Christ, and Holy Ghost because one Spirit is being described.

Direct answer

The Holy Ghost is God's own Spirit in holy action and presence, not another divine Spirit alongside the Father.

One Spirit

Paul describes the same indwelling presence as the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ.

The distinction is functional

Holy Ghost names God as he moves, fills, sanctifies, speaks, and dwells in believers.
