What does EGW write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Where does she say that the Holy Spirit is the third person?"
Answer
Ellen White explicitly describes the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Godhead, whose work is necessary to resist the power of evil. She emphasizes that there are three living persons in the heavenly trio: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Without this third Person of the Godhead, who works with full divine power, Christ's sacrifice would not be effective for the individual.
The Three Persons of the Heavenly Godhead
»The Comforter, whom Christ promised to send after His ascension, is the Spirit in the full fullness of the Godhead, who reveals the power of divine grace to all those who receive Christ as a personal Savior and believe in Him. 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 work together with obedience.«
The Third Person as a Powerful Helper
»Sin could only be resisted and overcome by the mighty work of the third Person of the Godhead, which would come not with weakened energy but in the fullness of divine power. It is the Spirit who makes effective what was accomplished by the Redeemer of the world. Through the Spirit the heart is purified. Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Christ gave His Spirit as divine power to overcome all inherited and cultivated tendencies toward evil and to imprint His own character upon the church.«
