Is He a finite person or the infinite God?

The Christian Research Institute called it "an excellent study on this gift: whether...

Prophets have always been God's covenant lawyers. Under the Old Covenant, they came as God's lawyers to prosecute His case against His covenant partner Israel. Now in the New Covenant, they are still God's covenant lawyers, but the covenant has changed. Instead of pointing out guilt, sin, and condemnation, the New Covenant lawyer's job is to point to the New Covenant, to declare, "You are released from shame; you are forgiven; you are free!" The job...

The Holy Spirit is in a way the most mysterious of the three "names" of God. For many it is the "unknown God" (Acts 17:23). How can a "Spirit" be love? How can it be a person? What role can a "Spirit" have in the trinitarian relations?
In The Breath of God, Veto argues that a more exact comprehension of the third divine person can be reached by considering the way it acts in the economy of salvation and how it reveals itself in its scriptural names:...

It is impossible to love God and at the same time be dispassionate about the study of God. Deep devotion to Jesus and an all-consuming desire to see his glory fill the earth should fuel the passion of anyone who ventures to write about God and help illuminate other people's understanding of God and his ways. Few themes call for as much of a blending of mind and heart as that of the Holy Spirit.
The global spread of Pentecostal Christianity, often...
