Not two Spirits but one Spirit that became the life giver to man after the Lords ressurrection.

Shawn, in order for God to "enter into man as the giver of God's life", it was NOT GOD that had to change but US. WE had to repent (change), We had to be cleansed.. We had to be forgiven, the changing was all on our part and NOT God's. The Spirit has always, always been life giving. God is life, the Holy Spirit is God therefore HE IS LIFE and gives life to every creature. He did not have to change or even be "intensified" to give us life.
