Holy Ghost       the third Person of the adorable Trinity.                His personality is proved (1) from the fact that the       attributes of personality, as intelligence and volition, are       ascribed to him (John 14:17, 26; 15:26; 1 Cor. 2:10, 11; 12:11).       He reproves, helps, glorifies, intercedes (John 16:7-13; Rom.       8:26). (2) He executes the offices peculiar only to a person.       The very nature of these offices involves personal distinction       (Luke 12:12; Acts 5:32; 15:28; 16:6; 28:25; 1 Cor. 2:13; Heb.       2:4; 3:7; 2 Pet. 1:21).                His divinity is established (1) from the fact that the names       of God are ascribed to him (Ex. 17:7; Ps. 95:7; comp. Heb.       3:7-11); and (2) that divine attributes are also ascribed to       him, omnipresence (Ps. 139:7; Eph. 2:17, 18; 1 Cor. 12:13);       omniscience (1 Cor. 2:10, 11); omnipotence (Luke 1:35; Rom.       8:11); eternity (Heb. 9:4). (3) Creation is ascribed to him       (Gen. 1:2; Job 26:13; Ps. 104:30), and the working of miracles       (Matt. 12:28; 1 Cor. 12:9-11). (4) Worship is required and       ascribed to him (Isa. 6:3; Acts 28:25; Rom. 9:1; Rev. 1:4; Matt.       28:19).
