@watso the Holy Spirit is the Father, just as Matt's simple language in 1:18 shows even a child
If you are saying the Holy Spirit is God the Father then it's wrong. Mary was found with child out of the Holy Spirit, meaning the Holy Spirit miraculously made Mary have the baby. I suppose you don't believe in miracles.
In any case, the Holy Spirit can't be the Father because of Luke 11:13: "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” The heavenly Father gave the Holy Spirit to them. It wasn't the Father that was given to them.
Also, John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." Here, the Father sent the Holy Spirit, not Himself.
