Isn't this called "splitting hairs"? What does it matter WHO raised Him from the dead if it is accepted that He WAS INDEED RAISED from the dead?
Next, you will be asking if Jesus died on a cross or on a tree. Who cares?! He DIED.

After having read all of the verses you mentioned, I came to the conclusion that two of those verses, Ephesians 1:20 and Romans 8:11, are talking about God raising Jesus from the dead. The other one, John 2:19-21, is talking about Jesus raising the temple (His body), not who would be doing the resurrecting.
To answer your question, God raised Jesus from the dead, after being dead three days and nights.

This shows that the Father using his holy spirit which is a powerful force. raised Jesus from the dead.
It is also a powerful scripture to show two persons.
Seated him at the right hand of God? Not now he was God.
The holy spirit is a force Jesus used to raise Lazarus from the dead. Heal the sick and provide food.

You need to read Romans 8:11 more closely; it does not say the spirit raised Christ:
"But if the Spirit OF HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
This is referring to God the Father. When Jesus speaks of raising himself up (John 2:19), it means that he has the authority to take up his life again -- we, on the other hand, have no such authority (see John 10:18 -- "No one has taken it [his life] away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.").

Many christians believe in a trinity. Just like the mother/maiden/crone of some wiccan paths. Triune gods and goddesses are quite common in pagan and heathen belief systems, so it's only natural the newer religions would have at least one or two examples of this.
So the answer is "all three, who are one".

The Father raised him up.
Jesus Raised himself up.
The Holy Spirit raised him up.
This is just another way of saying that the one true God is a Holy Trinity consisting of three divine coequal and coeternal persons.

He did it himself. He was(is) one of the Trinity... big for our finite minds.
