You must know that God's names have a descriptive purpose. They represant a characteristic of God. God from the very beginning used names for Himself in order to reveal Himself (or His character) to people. So the Hebrew "YAHWEH" means the "existing God", "ADONAI" means "Lord or Master", "SABAOTH" means "Lord of powers" and so on. In the New Testament now His name is "FATHER", because we are born again by Him and so we become His children and He becomes our Father. So the Spirit of God is simply called that, or Holly Spirit. Also "JESUS" means "God is salvation" in Hebrew.
The Holly Spirit is also called "Comforter or Advocate or Helper", also 'Spirit of Truth", "Spirit of Power" also "Spirit of Christ" and many other. It is a person, not a thing, not an impersonal power that some claim
Thank you, Giannis, in stating that the Holy Spirit is a distinct person, not a force. He is One in Essence with the Father and the Son in the divine Being of the Godhead and also a distinct Person of the Godhead along with the Father and the Son. He has all of the nature of God infinitely in all of God's perfections. He has a mind, a will, emotions, sense of Who He is in relation to Himself, the Father, the Son, and creation. He is relational, as is the Father and the Son and all three in regards to each other, and also with spiritual beings and humans He created by His power through the word of the Son according to the will of the Father. Our God is so very great and full of splendor. He is dishonored when one refers to the Spirit as an inanimate force. So, again thanks for glorifying God in your post.
Yes Gale... i believe the H.G. has a name...Its Emanuel God with us...Jesus said when he the spirit of truth ( the H.G. ) is come he will abide with you for ever... John 14:16...And John 16 :13...Thus his true name wd have to be Emanuel which is God with us...And Jesus said this spirit of truth Which is the manchild the H.G. Our spritual offspring that is gonna rule all nations can only be born in us via his seed HIS word...And thats y he is saying to whom the word came the living word..( his seed ) it made them Gods and the scripture cannot be broken...In that Jesus says the Spirit of truth cannot speak of himself implied he is just an infant...That which is BORN of the spirit is spirit...An infant.. but he is lord of all according to Gal 4:1...In time...Till the time appointed of the father...But the H.G. is God that has to be born in us via the seed of Jesus...Thats y he has to know us...
No the Holly Spirit has not any name.
