Just go to www.biiible.com (yes, three i's) and type in holy spirit or holy ghost (depending on what translation you want to examine)
Read over the verses and you can see that the holy spirit has personality, abilities, He communicates with us, etc.
god bless

Consider also doing the digging into the original languages.
Elohim is plural, and is used in many places.
For instance, Gen.1:1 uses Elohim, then in verse 2, we read the spirit was on the face of the waters. Everyone is there!

Gladly!
We see that the Spirit begins to be seen as the one in close proximity to the waters of the Earth:
Genesis 1
2 . . . And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
So it was the 'Spirit' of God that 'moved' , but God spoke to do something with the Earth and set the conditions on the
Earth, This is the Hebrew word for 'Spirit' used in this verse.

The reason why I brought up the word used to 'moved' is to show that the Spirit of God was there, but it states that God spoke. It has been attributed to the Word of God to have "spoke and out of nothing He created everything." But I will focus on the Spirit of God since you asked for it.
Another interesting thing to note is that there is a word that is used in this same verse to note:
The word they use to translate to "God". That word begins the mystery of God's nature: Elohim. Here is the word in study:

It would be a mistake to ignore that the word is plural in nature. Elohim used in the context as referring to 'God', as noted is a plural form. So there is a plural context to this word when referring to the One God. Does that make sense? It is difficult to understand. It has eluded highly credentialed scholars to aptly explain this nature; as if we could show this definition by referencing ourselves by saying, " Me, Myself, and I."
But the scriptures waste no time in beginning the revelation of God's nature by using a plural form of the word translated as 'God', and revealing that as the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters Elohim spoke. A very curious thing!
The Spirit of God is referred to by many as the 'Third Person of the Holy Trinity.' Okay, well if He has to be third I can respect that, I just get no reference to the Spirit of God being the Third Person from the Bible. I suppose people are tending to count to three when dealing with the concept of the Holy Trinity! After all, we are saying that there are three, so why not count them? But I would say that there isn't a reason to call Him number 3 unless the scriptures call Him number 3. It's just the way I am persuaded. lol

There are none.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about creating a "Trinity" with three people becoming one.

Sis, Trinitarians often misinterpret scripture. Their is no scripture that talks about a Trinity of persons, their is only Three manifestations of One God not persons, One God who manifested himself as Father in Creation, Son in Remption, and Holy Spirit in Regeneration.
Im Oneness Apostolic and believe Jesus is God but their is not such thing as a Triniy of persons. Only ONE God manifested in Three ways, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I would love to talk to you and if you have any questions, please E-mail me. God bless
