NIV - Matt. 28:18-20 wrote:Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in* the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you...

Great, I agree. Why baptize into three names...one being ficticious? Is God playing with our heads here or something?

No, of course not. And the Holy Spirit isn't ficticious. This answer was given in another post. The Holy spirit is given when we are baptized, that is why all three are mentioned here.

That doesn't add up. The name of the Holy Spirit is given as equal to that of the Father and the Son. A "thing" or "impersonal force" would not be given a name equal to that of the Father and the Son. This combined with the personal pronouns, gender and all of the attributes of God which are attributed to the Holy Spirit makes the logic of attempting to make this a special case, very tortured and inconsistent in my opinion.

Well that's 2/3 of the trinity. Just add the Holy Spirit which is also God and you are set.

Here's a reasonably good commentary I found on the web, tied into other Trinity sites for those interested.
Jac is a good man to answer these things. My Greek is very rusty but I know enough to be dangerous and find and evaluate materials related to it.

That helps me a lot. Thank you. The Greek states it as I thought.

Can a mind conceive a child? No, of course not. But notice the Holy Spirit is also the POWER of God. It can also be called the "seed". (1John 3:9) Just as a HUMAN father begets a son through his seed, so has God. Your question could be similar to saying "Who is the actual father of a human child, the sperm or the man?" The child is created THROUGH the seed, but BY the man. So God is the Father of Christ, through His "seed", the Holy Spirit.

Well If my sperm is the father of my child...I'm paying for someone elses children! God didn't create sperm to be fathers, but Humans. Likewise, an entity (the HS) has been given to us. The HS takes our sinful words and communicates them to God the Father. In your belief, God the Father hears our words and translates them to Himself, for Himself to understand. (Romans 8:26)

No, that's not correct. The only way for God to hear us is through Jesus. That is why we pray "in Jesus's name". He is our mediator, not the Holy Spirit. And I think you may have misunderstood me about the sperm. I didn't say the sperm was the father. I said that the man begot a child THROUGH the sperm. The man is the actual father. God is the Father, Christ is the Son, begotten through the Holy Spirit.

I guess Romans 8:26 is a lie.

So humans have their own "holy spirit" within themselves apart from the real Holy Spirit? Afterall...we are created in the image of God. Isn't it you that has stated (as I believe) that humans ARE souls...they don't HAVE souls?

Yes, that would be me who said that. Genesis 2:7 "...and man became a living soul". BECAME a living soul, not WAS GIVEN a soul. Man has a spirit, yes. Proverbs 20:27. No one can come to the Father but by Me. I don't know the exact verse, but is it a lie?
