The holy spirit is God's agency in our world. It is God's spirit which created our world, which holds our world together, and which gives life. Physical and spiritual life both come from God's spirit. If God withdrew his spirit all life would perish.
When we become Christians God fills each new Christian with his holy spirit. That is the moment that we are reborn into Gods family. The holy spirit becomes a continual spring of living water inside us, constantly welling up inside us, changing us from the inside to be like God's son Jesus, thus making us pleasing to God.
That work of God's spirit is God's gift of new life. It is not by physical baptism, not by our desire, but purely by God's choice. It is Gods holy spirit which connects us to the vine (Jesus). It is God's holy spirit which produces fruit in our lives. It is By God's holy spirit that we communicate with God. The genuine holy spirit is a pervasive continual spring. It is not a separate person from God.
But of course Satan mimics everything that God does. So Satan also mimics the work of the holy spirit. Satan cannot mimic Gods pervasive spirit. Instead he uses the power of demons to mimic the holy spirit. Demons are not pervasive. They are separate persons. The demonic holy spriti has a persona like a person. It has presence and arrives and departs. There are many of Satan's demons mimicing the holy spirit, but each one is still an individual demon.
The doctrine of the Trinity comes from these masquerading demons. The doctrine that the holy spirit is a separate person from God is false. The holy spirit is part of God. It is only the false demon spirits which are separate persons. And of course they are not from God at all.
