John 14-16 is an excellent study , a fantastic primer, if you will , on the ministry of the Holy Spirit as Sinclair says ; then I would meticulously move through the Book of Acts where the Holy Spirit in the life of the church really takes center stage. I was surprised the good Dr. did not mentioning the book JB PHILLIPS aptly called , The Young Church in Action. In it you clearly see the intimacy of His ministry in many every day saints. Men and women, named and unnamed .

The Holy Spirit is not a third divine person as maintained by the trinitarians (the "Lord who gives life"). The "Lord who gives life" DOES NOT SPEAK, never heard a word from him. The alleged Lord 1. does not speak and 2. is NEVER with Father and Son (see the gospels). In other words that Lord DOES NOT EXIST, is a pure INVENTION. Who really is the Holy Spirit? The "Spirit of God" (aka "Holy Spirit") simply is God (almighty) who is a spirit ("God [almighty] is a spirit" Jn. 4:24). The Holy Spirit is thus a Person (God) but is not a THIRD Person! He is the Spirit of the FIRST Person (God). He is the ONLY ONE Spirit inside Jesus " "The words I say to you, I say not on my own but from the FATHER WHO DWELLS IN ME." That ONE Spirit (no third person exists) dealt with Mary's pregnancy, spoke when Jesus was baptized, led Him into the desert, later helped Him when speaking too (see quote above). That ONE Spirit with Jesus is either called "Holy Spirit" or "Holy Father" by Him. Hence blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Mt. 12:32) is the same as blasphemy against the Father.
