that is my question
Is the Holy Spirit which is also called the Spirit of Jesus a separate ''person'' to Jesus Christ?
“They have ONE God and ONE Saviour; and ONE Spirit--the Spirit of Christ” — (Ellen G. White, 9T 189.3, 1909)
If I may preface by saying Ellen White's writings should not be the basis of any doctrine. I believe she was a messenger of God. So she could not have written about any doctrine that is not taught by the bible or is taught differently by the bible.
With that said, here're a few more quotes from Ellen White on the spirit of Christ.
In 1891, brother Chapman wrote to Ellen White complaining about the brethren did not allow him to preach because he had a 'new light' that '
holy ghost is the not the spirit of God, which is Christ (the belief of Adventist pioneers), but the angel Gabriel.' 14 MR p175.
Sis. White wrote this back to him:
"Your ideas of... do not harmonize with the light which God has given me. ... It is not essential for you to know and be able to define just what the Holy Spirit is.
Christ tells us that the Holy Spirit is the Comforter, and the Comforter is the Holy Ghost, “the Spirit of truth, which the Father shall send in My name.” “I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him, for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” [
John 14:16, 17].
This refers to the omnipresence of the Spirit of Christ, called the Comforter. ...I hope that you will seek to be in harmony with the body. I have been shown that you would not exert a saving influence in teaching the truth, because your mind is restless, and unless you drank deeper of the Fountain of life, you would make the mistake that many others have made, of thinking that you have new light, when it is only a new phase of error. {14MR 180.1} Now, my brother, it is truth that we want and must have, but do not introduce error as new truth. I would be glad to write further on this point, but must drop the subject now. God wants us to be a unit.—Letter 7, 1891.{14MR 180.4}
“
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing;
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
Christ is not here referring to his doctrine, but to his person, the divinity of his character.” {E. G. White, Review and Herald, April 5, 1906 par. 12}
“The Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the only begotten Son of God, binds the human agent, body, soul, and spirit, to the perfect, divine-human nature of Christ.” {E. G. White, Review and Herald, April 5, 1906 par. 16}
