The Spirit didn't die on the cross for our sins. The Son did. When God stepped into time as a human being only the Son was incarnated.

My understanding goes only as far as indicated in 2 Cor 3.17 and other scripture. It should in no way imply that Jesus did not die on the cross, nor that the Spirit did.
It seems Trinity theology always includes excessive inference. I have always wondered why "all in Asia turned away from Paul." Could it be something so ridiculous as this verse? Could his detractors have branded him a cult heretic for saying "
Now the Lord is the Spirit?"
