What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "The Personality and Divinity of the Holy Spirit"
Answer
According to the existing writings of Ellen G. White, the Holy Spirit is clearly described as a divine Person. He is referred to as “the third Person of the Deity” and as the Spirit “in the full fullness of the Deity.” Together with the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit forms a “heavenly trio” of three living Persons who represent the three highest powers in the universe.
The writings emphasize that the Holy Spirit possesses personal attributes: He is a Comforter, Teacher, Guide, Seeker of hearts, and Christ’s representative on earth. He speaks, seeks, leads, and works powerfully in the hearts of believers – all hallmarks of a personal being and not merely a force.
The Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Deity
»There are three living Persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – those who accept Christ through living faith are baptized.«
The third Person of the Deity with divine power
»Sin could only be resisted and overcome by the mighty work of the third Person of the Deity, which would come not with diminished energy but in the fullness of divine power.«
The Holy Spirit as Seeker of Hearts
»The Holy Spirit comes to the world as Christ’s representative. He not only speaks the truth, but He is the truth – the faithful and true witness. He is the great seeker of hearts and knows the characters of all.«
Three highest powers in the universe
»The presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the three highest powers in the universe and those in whose name the believer is baptized, is promised to be with every struggling soul.«
Christ’s representative with divine power

The Holy Spirit as divine Teacher and Guide
