The mind and the spirit being separate is not a form of dualism but a form of triunity that of body, soul and spirit. Here's an old thread that speaks about just that for reference if you like. Mind you it got a bit messed up after a site update that added a lot of (#numbers) as did all threads at that time so the (#numbers) are not meant to be there. Here's the link,
The Nous of human spirit that relates to the Holy Spirit
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart
Psalms 139:13-14
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well
Numbers 16:22
Moses and Aaron, "…fell upon their faces and said, 'O God, God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will you be angry with the entire congregation?'"
That verse names God as the God of the spirits that all humanity has been created with; a spirit but it remains in a deadened state until regeneration.
Hopefully that will clear up any misunderstandings you may have so another thread isn't necessary.
