    "That Christ should manifest *HIMSELF* to them, and yet be invisible to the world, was a mystery to the disciples. They could not understand the words of Christ in their spiritual sense. They were thinking of the outward, visible manifestation. They could not take in the fact that they could have the presence of Christ with them, and yet He be unseen by the world. They did not understand the meaning of a spiritual manifestation." (Ellen G. White, Southern Watchman, 13th September 1898

      I believe it is since it points to deception which has corrupted the minds of men to the extent that they deny the biblical description given of the earth especially in the book of genesis. I believe its madness to believe that the round earth is both rotating and revolving at such incredible speeds faster than any machine made to man, yet we cannot feel the effect of such high speeds. Flat earth is more consistent with biblical teaching than a globe earth. I suspect that the Catholics played a major role in that GLOBAL deception. NOT ONCE THE BIBLE REFERS TO THE EARTH AS A BALL.
      Having said this I believe that the most important teaching in these last days has to be about turning people to worship the right God and His Only begotten Son Jesus Christ. This is the essence of our salvation whether the earth is round or flat. Christ in you the hope of glory.

      Please read Ephesians 4 from verse 10 which tells us exactly what happened on the day of Pentecost with the divine interaction with our earthly, heavenly and spiritual realms, as well as the prophecy of Pentecost recorded in Ps 68:18. It was Jesus who descended into the earth, then ascended far up above all things to receive the gifts of the Spirit from His Father so that He can give to men. Jesus is that, Spirit. Baptism of the Holy Ghost is simply about allowing the true Jesus to live his life in you through His own Spirit every day. We are to die daily to our flesh and allow Christ to live His perfect life in us according to His holy word. That is how we are to be dally baptized with the holy Spirit. it's a daily act, not a onetime event. We are sealed by the indwelling true Christ in our lives daily. Beware of the false trinity god they refer to as "God the holy spirit"

    "The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, in Christ’s name. He personifies Christ, yet is a distinct personality" Ms93. 1893.8
    Distinct means "not the same as" "another"
    What about "personifies?"
    Until you understand what it means by personify you will struggle with how the Holy Spirit can "become Christ to us" while a distinct Person. He takes on the personality, thoughts and words of Christ on his behalf. He knows the mind and thoughts of Christ and the Father. 1 Corinthians 2:11 - even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

      “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” CHRIST IS not HERE REFERRING to his doctrine, but TO HIS PERSON, THE DIVINITY OF HIS CHARACTER.”
      Review and Herald, April 5, 1906, par. 12
      “Cumbered with humanity, Christ could not be in every place personally; therefore it was altogether for their advantage that He should leave them, go to His father, and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall (although unseen by you), [This phrase was added by Ellen White.] teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” [John 14:26]. “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will come not unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you” [John 16:7].” 14MR 23.3
      Note: If this quote is not speaking of Christ, Himself; it would seem to represent that the Holy Spirit has a Holy Spirit, “represent[ing] Himself as present in all places by His Holy Spirit, as the Omnipresent.
      “In giving His commission to His followers, Christ did not tell them they would be left alone. He assured them that He would be near them. He spoke of His Omnipresence in a special way. Go to all nations, He said. Go, to the farthest portion of the habitable globe, but know that My presence will be there. Labor in faith and confidence, for the time will never come when I shall forsake you. The assurance of His abiding presence was the richest legacy Christ could give His disciples. Having the High Priest of our profession close by our side, we need not imperil our souls by opening the secrets of our hearts to priest or minister. In all confidence we may open our heart to the head over all the church. Take every matter, small or great to Jesus. “Come unto me,” He says, “all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” [Matthew 11:28-30.] Precious assurance. Let us show that we honor the invitation by obeying the call.” Ms 138, 1897 (December 2, 1897) par. 21
      Note:
      To those who insist that to know WHO THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH is, is “a mystery”:
      “C̲h̲r̲i̲s̲t̲ ̲w̲a̲s̲ ̲t̲h̲e̲ ̲S̲p̲i̲r̲i̲t̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲t̲r̲u̲t̲h̲. The world would not listen to His pleadings. They would not accept Him as their guide. They could not discern unseen things; spiritual things were unknown to them. But His disciples see in Him the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And they shall have His abiding presence. They shall have an experimental knowledge of the only true God and of Jesus Christ whom He has sent. To them He says, You will no more say, I cannot comprehend. 𝐍͟𝐨͟ ͟𝐥͟𝐨͟𝐧͟𝐠͟𝐞͟𝐫͟ ͟𝐬͟𝐡͟𝐚͟𝐥͟𝐥͟ ͟𝐲͟𝐨͟𝐮͟ ͟𝐬͟𝐞͟𝐞͟ ͟𝐭͟𝐡͟𝐫͟𝐨͟𝐮͟𝐠͟𝐡͟ ͟𝐚͟ ͟𝐠͟𝐥͟𝐚͟𝐬͟𝐬͟ ͟𝐝͟𝐚͟𝐫͟𝐤͟𝐲͟y; you shall comprehend with all saints what is the length and depth and breadth and height of the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.

    You want to demonstrate that trinitarians worship Satan because they belive that Holy Spirit is the third person. This is not truth. Never Ellen White said this. You can have the right doctrine and Satan spirit and be lost, and you can have a mistake in the doctrine and God Spirit and be saved.( Mat 21.31: Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.")

      I was asked some time ago, "Who is your comforter that was sent to us?"
      In John 14, Jesus called the Spirit, "another comforter" whom he would send to us. In doing so, Jesus stated that He himself would come and abide with us. If the Spirit is a distinct person from Jesus, how can these things be?
      Ellen G. White shares some valuable insights on this. "If we open the door to Jesus," she writes, "He will come in and abide with us. Our strength will always be reinforced by His actual representative, the Holy Spirit" (GCB Feb 15, 1895.)
      She preceded that with, "When you search the scriptures, the Holy Spirit is by your side, personating Jesus Christ." (ibid)
      That word, "personating" is a rare word, occurring five times in EGW's Letters and Manuscripts Collection. Four times she applies the word to Satan, three times in the one manuscript describing Satan's last deception in "personating Jesus Christ".
      "...[Satan] makes one more, last, desperate effort to overcome the faithful by deception. He does this in personating Christ." (Manuscript 16, 1884)
      "...Satan in personating Jesus Christ is worshiped as God. Shout upon shout of victory is heard in adoration and in praise." (Manuscript 16, 1884)
      "....Satan sees that he is about to lose his last chance of subverting these souls and he brings all the powers of his satanic generalship into intense activity. This last great act in the drama is in personating Jesus Christ. His disguise is discerned by none but those who are established in the Scriptures and acquainted [with] the word of God." (Manuscript 16, 1884)
      The fourth time it is used to describe Satan's effort to appear as an angel of light and truth:
      "To men whom he desires to delude and ruin, Satan does not come as the outcast, apostate spirit, but he comes personating an angel of light and truth. Thus he came to Christ with his temptations to deceive our Substitute and Surety." (Letter 103, 1894.)
      But the fifth is only occurance she uses "personating" in relation to the Holy Spirit.
      "When you search the scriptures, the Holy Spirit is by your side, personating Jesus Christ."
      According to Webster's 1828, "Personate" means, "v.t. To represent by a fictitious or assumed character so as to pass for the person represented.
      "1. To represent by action or appearance; to assume the character and act the part of another."
      In relation to the believer, this is exactly what the Holy Spirit is doing. He is "by your side" representing the character of Christ to you, so as to pass for Christ himself. This is not a deceiver, for the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son to do this work.
      This helps me better appreciate the following thought:
      "It is not safe to catch the spirit from another. We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ." Ltr 66, 1894.
      How could she write that the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ, and yet be distinct in person from Christ? Because the Holy Spirit is personating Christ.
      Today, Jesus in person is standing before our Father in heaven, mediating for us as our great High Priest. But it is via the Spirit, as His actual representative, that Jesus abides in our hearts. It is through the Spirit, personating Jesus to us, that Jesus comforts, strengthens and guides us.
      This is why, though distinct as "the third person of the Godhead" and one of the "three living persons of the heavenly trio", I consider the Spirit in all its practical implications, to be Christ himself. If you have the Holy Spirit, the actual representative of Christ, then you have the spirit of Christ. And if you do, your life will be a reflection of the life of Jesus--in thoughts, words and actions. Remember, it is God's eternal purpose, by the sanctifying power of the Spirit, to conform you to the image of His Son. (see Romans 8:29). As He does, your spirit will bear witness with His Spirit that you are indeed a child of God.
      We can be grateful that Jesus has given to us such a potent source of comfort and strength for our Christian walk. So let us not grieve away the Spirit as He speaks to us. Let's recognise the Spirit for who He is--the actual representative of Christ. When you next open your Bible, thank Jesus for such a wonderful gift, that stands by your side as the other Comforter, personating Jesus to you, and ever ready to guide you into all truth.
      Blessings.

      Isa 63:11b "where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?" Anyone who believes the Holy Spirit is "God the Holy Spirit" believes in pantheism. This verse proves that and is further proof of what I was saying in the video

      Why are you not worshiping the Holy Spirit?
      What makes the Holy Spirit different From the Father and Son who both receive worship? The Holy Spirit must be different then if it is not to be worshiped, according to your own statement, what is the difference?

    Seventh day press, born again Christian don't doubt Jesus is God, 2nd person singular who is with God the Father, 1st person singular and the Holy Ghost, 3rd person singular.
    Jn 14: 16--17 shows the trinity.
    Jesus said, I, (personal pronoun) will ask the Father, (personal pronoun) and He, (personal pronoun)will give you ANOTHER comforter",and HE, (personal pronoun) will be with you forever. You have three distinct persons in that veres.
    But because you are an unsaved antichrist, as the Bible says about those who deny the Father AND the Son as two distinct persons in the ONE God along with the Holy Ghost.

      I was asked some time ago, "Who is your comforter that was sent to us?"
      In John 14, Jesus called the Spirit, "another comforter" whom he would send to us. In doing so, Jesus stated that He himself would come and abide with us. If the Spirit is a distinct person from Jesus, how can these things be?
      Ellen G. White shares some valuable insights on this. "If we open the door to Jesus," she writes, "He will come in and abide with us. Our strength will always be reinforced by His actual representative, the Holy Spirit" (GCB Feb 15, 1895.)
      She preceded that with, "When you search the scriptures, the Holy Spirit is by your side, personating Jesus Christ." (ibid)
      That word, "personating" is a rare word, occurring five times in EGW's Letters and Manuscripts Collection. Four times she applies the word to Satan, three times in the one manuscript describing Satan's last deception in "personating Jesus Christ".
      "...[Satan] makes one more, last, desperate effort to overcome the faithful by deception. He does this in personating Christ." (Manuscript 16, 1884)
      "...Satan in personating Jesus Christ is worshiped as God. Shout upon shout of victory is heard in adoration and in praise." (Manuscript 16, 1884)
      "....Satan sees that he is about to lose his last chance of subverting these souls and he brings all the powers of his satanic generalship into intense activity. This last great act in the drama is in personating Jesus Christ. His disguise is discerned by none but those who are established in the Scriptures and acquainted [with] the word of God." (Manuscript 16, 1884)
      The fourth time it is used to describe Satan's effort to appear as an angel of light and truth:
      "To men whom he desires to delude and ruin, Satan does not come as the outcast, apostate spirit, but he comes personating an angel of light and truth. Thus he came to Christ with his temptations to deceive our Substitute and Surety." (Letter 103, 1894.)
      But the fifth is only occurance she uses "personating" in relation to the Holy Spirit.
      "When you search the scriptures, the Holy Spirit is by your side, personating Jesus Christ."
      According to Webster's 1828, "Personate" means, "v.t. To represent by a fictitious or assumed character so as to pass for the person represented.
      "1. To represent by action or appearance; to assume the character and act the part of another."
      In relation to the believer, this is exactly what the Holy Spirit is doing. He is "by your side" representing the character of Christ to you, so as to pass for Christ himself. This is not a deceiver, for the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son to do this work.
      This helps me better appreciate the following thought:
      "It is not safe to catch the spirit from another. We want the Holy Spirit, which is Jesus Christ." Ltr 66, 1894.
      How could she write that the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ, and yet be distinct in person from Christ? Because the Holy Spirit is personating Christ.
      Today, Jesus in person is standing before our Father in heaven, mediating for us as our great High Priest. But it is via the Spirit, as His actual representative, that Jesus abides in our hearts. It is through the Spirit, personating Jesus to us, that Jesus comforts, strengthens and guides us.
      This is why, though distinct as "the third person of the Godhead" and one of the "three living persons of the heavenly trio", I consider the Spirit in all its practical implications, to be Christ himself. If you have the Holy Spirit, the actual representative of Christ, then you have the spirit of Christ. And if you do, your life will be a reflection of the life of Jesus--in thoughts, words and actions. Remember, it is God's eternal purpose, by the sanctifying power of the Spirit, to conform you to the image of His Son. (see Romans 8:29). As He does, your spirit will bear witness with His Spirit that you are indeed a child of God.
      We can be grateful that Jesus has given to us such a potent source of comfort and strength for our Christian walk. So let us not grieve away the Spirit as He speaks to us. Let's recognise the Spirit for who He is--the actual representative of Christ. When you next open your Bible, thank Jesus for such a wonderful gift, that stands by your side as the other Comforter, personating Jesus to you, and ever ready to guide you into all truth.
      Blessings.

      John 14:6 say that Jesus is the TRUTH. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR JESUS THE PERSON OF TRUTH TO BE A DIFFERENT PERSON FROM THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IN VERSE 17 OF THE SAME CHAPTER. TRINITY IS SATAN IC AND VERY UNSCRIPTURAL. READ THE WORD FOR YOURSELF AND STOP MAKING PEOPLE READ AND INTERPRET FOR YOU. LET JESUS SPEAK TO YOUR HEART PERSONALLY. THAT TRINITY DOCTRINE NOT ONLY DEFIES SCRIPTURE BUT IT ALSO DENIES BASIC COMMON SENSE.
