That's wotsup's (a man's) interpretation which is fine if you didn't have a go at others for interpreting in the same way as you do.
Others that interpret the same way as I do, which would mean we come to the same conclusion, so why would I have a go at them?
But if this is not what you meant, yea that's fine as long and their interpretations are "correctly" supported by the Bible and as many verses as possible to establish the Whole Truth.
Ex - Mr G will Not explain how and what justification they can possibly have for changing IN with Unity and many other words so the Unity can fit in. So if one is Not prepared to do what "should" be easy to do, then clearly they have NO grounds or even a hint of correct interpretation.
------------------------
The website I posted clearly shows that the bible has verses that portray the Holy Spirit as a person. If you want to ignore these verses or explain them away then fine, but don't blame others for doing the same to support their positions.
I have never said it's not a person or a being, because it is = God.
And in my opinion, the verses I gave to Mr G, well and truly clarify who the Holy Spirit is, Holy Spirit and God are one in the same, as is The Word.
------------------------
Sending the "The Spirit of truth, Comforter, Advocate, another helper etc ARE The Holy Spirit (God)" clearly indicates that that person is not God, but "anther helper".
How you get or come to this conclusion is beyond me, or you don't explain with clarity, your reasons.
The "another" helper is besides Jesus, he was leaving, hence the Holy Spirit (God) within was going to be leaving as well.
Acts 2:33 Tell us, he shed this and as promised and says, we now see and hear, Spirit of truth.
In OT times they had the tent/tabernacle, God would come in the cloud or the cloud would overshadow the tent, are they saw or experienced the Glory of God.
This was replaced with a new house/Tent/Tabernacle/Flesh of Jesus, John 1:14 (The Word God came in Jesus) and the Glory mentioned here is with reference to God as well, The WORD, so the Holy Spirit (God) was in the world as never before.
We need to keep in mind also, the Bible tells us, God's Word is Spirit also, so if you actually correctly receive his word = Spirit of Truth as His words are Spirit.
Jesus is or was to build the new House for God to dwell in, he being the cornerstone (first) to which we are to build upon.
You don't build a house to not abide in, live in.
In John 14:23 under the comforter subject, Jesus said, they (he and God) will come and make their abode with us.
Hence as Jesus says, I and the Father are one and ask the Father that we become one Just as they are one in John Ch 17.
The ultimate goal or perspective/aim for God is so He can be ALL IN ALL and this is through His Spirit, 1 Cor 15:28.
