Is there something wrong with saying holy ghost?

"Ghost" implies a specter or lost soul, so the church shifted to "spirit". I interchange the terms myself

They are really the same thing, I say both.
There is nothing wrong with saying Holy Ghost, I think the word "ghost" makes some people feel uncomfortable so they say Spirit instead.

No, Acts the second Chapter
Holy Ghost is the correct word, holy spirit is also, but the Holy Ghost is the one who comes in and fills you to overflowing and gives you the gift of speaking in tongues, as he gives the utterance
He is the tongues of fire that no one talks about!!
We need to get back to the old ways and old paths
It's in the old testament
Thank you Jesus!!

There's nothing wrong with holy ghost. It's just a personal preference.

I say Holy Ghost ,because the Bible refers to Him that way.

My current church uses Spirit to distance itself from the latest incident of programs promoting communication with ghosts.

I think maybe the connotation of "ghost"...that it's some sort of spectral being! Our church refers to the holy "spirit".

Nothing wrong,it's just the old King James English.I prefer Holy Spirit.I don't say "thee or thou" either.It's just preference.

Nothing wrong with saying both because they are the same meaning. God bless. *(*
