Ellen Gould White über: "What does EGW write about the third Person of the deity?"
Answer
Ellen G. White affirms that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead, possessing a distinct divine personality and serving as Christ’s representative on earth. She emphasizes His role in baptizing believers, revealing truth, and co-operating with the Father and Son in the work of redemption. White teaches that the Spirit is to be sought, prayed for, and received as a divine gift worthy of worship and obedience alongside the other two persons of the Trinity.
The Holy Spirit as the Third Divine Person
»The Holy Spirit has a personality, else He could not bear witness to our spirits and with our spirits that we are the children of God. He must also be a divine person, else He could not search out the secrets which lie hidden in the mind of God. 'For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.'—. The Power of God in the Third Person—The prince of the power of evil can only be held in check by the power of God in the third person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit.—.«
Christ Bestows the Third Person of the Godhead
»He determined to give his representative, the third person of the Godhead. This gift could not be excelled. He would give all gifts in one, and therefore the divine Spirit, that converting, enlightening and sanctifying power, would be his donation.«
The Three Persons of the Heavenly Trio
»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 receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powers will co-operate with the obedient subjects of heaven in their efforts to live the new life in Christ.—. The Godhead was stirred with pity for the race, and the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit gave themselves to the working out of the plan of redemption.—.«
The Holy Spirit as Christ’s Representative
»The Holy Spirit, Christ's representative on earth, is set forth and exalted as the heavenly teacher and guide sent to this world by our Lord at His ascension, to make real in the hearts and lives of men all that He had made possible by His death on the cross.«
The Holy Spirit as the Divine Teacher and Guide
»The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.«
