I worship in a Pentecostal Church, where the Holy Spirit is endorsed. Whenever I hear gospels about the Holy Spirit I always hear the following that the Spirit is a Person.

Is there biblical excerpts or theological backgrounds to indicate that the Holy Spirit is a person or was it revealed by personal revelation of Prophets in the 20th/21th Century, which is possible as the Holy Spirit reveals to men of God but also children of GOD?

    Hello and welcome to the site! I've marked this as a duplicate of one of our older questions, though it doesn't get into the history of how the church came to understand that the Holy Spirit is a person alongside the Father and the Son. We do have other questions getting into that history too, but in short it was understood long by the early church. – curiousdannii Oct 08 '20 at 13:05
  • Spirits in general, whether human, angelic, or demonic, are endowed with personhood. It's not clear why the divine spirit would constitute an exception to the general rule. –  Oct 08 '20 at 15:35

    What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. So the spirit of the world is a 'person' too? – steveowen Oct 11 '20 at 08:21
