Yes, the Holy Spirit has always existed, but the Holy Spirit could not enter into man as the giver of Gods life, until the death and ressurrection of our Lord Jesus; it was at this point that the Holy Spirit could become the life giving Spirit.This is the main point as I understood it from brother Lee's ministry. Not two Spirits but one Spirit that became the life giver to man after the Lords ressurrection.

Hi Shawn,
How do you then explain Romans 8:11 which says that the Spirit that dwells in us is the one that raised Christ from the dead?
The truth is that we could not receive the Holy Spirit until Christ completed the sacrifice for our sins. Nothing happened to the Holy Spirit to make it the life-giving Spirit. It clearly was already such a Spirit, able to give life.
Witness Lee said: "Before Christ’s resurrection, there was not such a life-giving Spirit in the universe."
Thankful Jane
