Firstly though, one needs to grasp - John 4:24 God is a Spirit, AND - Eph 4:4 There is ONE Spirit.
1 Cor Ch 12 Tells us, there are many gifts BUT ONE Spirit that works or is responsible for them all.
Now logic tells us just here alone, if God is a Spirit and there is only One Spirit, then God must be The Holy Spirit.
----------
(John 4:24) God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.”
(Revelation 5:11) And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
Every one of those myriads of angels are spirits.
1 Cor 12 tells us there is BUT ONE Spirit. Both the Scriptures and logic tells us that cannot be referring to these spirit persons. Holy spirit therefore is something, not someone.

MrGordon, wotsup, you certainly combine to make scripture sound complex and convoluted, which is quite strange for descriptions that have supposedly been inspired by the creator of the universe for his little sheep.

"Holy spirit therefore is something, not someone."
That's quite a claim especially in the light of John's Gospel which I take it that both of you take as gospel.

Highlight is mine.
John 15:26 New International Version (NIV)
²⁶“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.

Reference: Question: "Is the Holy Spirit a person?"
Extract
Yet, in many cases, masculine pronouns are found (e.g., John 15:26; 16:13-14). Grammatically, there is no other way to understand the pronouns of the New Testament related to the Holy Spirit—He is referred to as a “He,” as a person.

Confusing? You bet.
