The Holy Spirit is deity because He performs the functions of God and because He is called God in Scripture. He has the attributes of deity, such as omnipresence (Ps.139:7, 8); omniscience (1 Cor. 2:10-11); eternality (Heb. 9:14); omnipotence (Job 33:4). And He gives eternal life (John 3:3-8). He is also the Creator (Job 33:4; Gen. 1:2). It goes without saying that no impersonal force (Jehovah’s Witnesses) or finite god (Mormonism) has the personal and divine attributes that Scripture assigns to the Holy Spirit.
