    This document discusses whether the Holy Spirit is a separate being from Christ based on a Bible verse. It notes that Jesus often referred to himself in the third person, as in "he will guide you." Several examples are given. It also notes that the "Spirit of truth" can only refer to Christ. Further, the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy sometimes use "it" when referring to the Holy Spirit, which would not be done if it was a separate being like the Father and Son. Overall, it concludes that the Holy Spirit is the spirit of Christ dwelling in believers, not a separate individual.
