I do not believe in the trinity as one God with three personalities..I believe they are three beings, from (out of) God, with all His attributes, in perfect harmony with one another forming a perfect union,one in all and all in one. Separate but united by perfect love.

Like the Church, the bride of Christ was/is intended to be..many members united in perfect harmony, subject to the head (Christ).. Christ in God, the Church (the believers) in Christ, Christ in the Church..

JMHO, of course ..

So what is the difference between the Spirit that is in God the Father and the Holy Spirit? Does the Father have another person in Him?

Paul

I don't think of God as having three personalities.
the personalities are all the same to me...they are all love.
The three are one imo.
The bible states when you have seen Jesus you have seen God.
I think of having the Holy Spirit in my heart the same as having Jesus in my heart.
as always jmho

Isn't it irrefutable (via scripture) that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father Himself and not some OTHER person?

Paul

I do not deny that all three exist, nor do I deny that they are all from God's love!! I am saying they are three different beings. Why didn't Jesus just say: I God, have sent God to save the world, and after God ascends to God, God will sit at the right hand of God, then I will send God in spirit!!
Sounds silly doesn't it!!!!!
GOD BLESS!!!!

God calls Christ His Son so shouldn't it be similiar in that regard here on earth with human reproduction for a man to have a son. Shouldn't the reproduction of our offspring by a TYPE of the reproduction of God's offspring?

Yes I believe that Jesus is an offspring of God, but that does not make him God. In my house, I am father, and make the rules or commandments(if you will), and my offspring will be made to follow my rules! Thus he can not be me also, to make his own rules!!

"One God and Father of all." Ephesians 4:6

God is Father of ALL including us, some of the new age believers have gone as far to say that, since we are ALL sons of God then we too shall be gods!! NONSENSE!!
GOD BLESS!!!!!

But your offspring does have YOUR flesh, correct?
