The doctrine of the Holy Spirit and the Trinity is one of the core teachings of orthodox [[Christianity]], setting Christianity apart from other [[monotheism|monotheistic]] religions such as [[Islam]], as well various off-shoots of Christianity such as [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] and [[Christadelphianism]].===Biblical passages===
===Biblical passages===The [[Bible]] explains the importance and centrality of the Holy Spirit in the divine plan. Without his presence in this world, there would not be creation, the universe, nor even the humanity ([[Genesis 1:2]], [[Job 26:13]], [[Job 33:4]], [[Psalm 104:30]]). Without the Holy Spirit, neither the [[New Testament]] nor the Bible would not come into existence ([[2 Peter 1:21]], [[John 14:26]], [[1 Corinthians 2:10]]). And without him Christians have no power to proclaim the gospel ([[Acts 1:8]]). Without the Holy Spirit, humans would not have faith, new birth or holiness.

The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal “it” or simply an influence. He is a person. He is sometimes forgotten in the third person discussion of the [[God the Father and God the Son, and yet plays a role within the Trinity]], co-equal with and salvation that is fundamental to the Christian life. The Holy Spirit is a person who can be grieved ([[God the FatherEphesians 4:30]] ) and teach ([[Jesus ChristJohn 14:26]]. He is the one who convicts of sin and guides into the truth. The word translated into "Spirit" in the Bible has its root meaning as "breath" or "wind") among many other things.
