However, some scriptures indicate that the Holy Spirit is God and worthy of our worship and reverence.

You have my head spinning on this one but it is an interesting concept. The Worship of the HS. 2 Corinthians 13:14 is a prayer addressed to the entire Godhead. The Holy Spirit speaks (1 Timothy 4:1), loves (Romans 15:30), teaches (John 14:26), intercedes (Romans 8:26). Interestingly in John 14:26 Jesus states that the HS “…will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.” Jesus was talking to his disciples while he was alive. How are we reminded of all that “I have said to you”? Bible verses?

This is a list of many of the aspects of the person of the Holy Spirit: GOD (1 John 5:7); COMFORTER (John 14:26, JV); HELPER (John 14:26, NKJV); PARACLETOS (the One who stands by; John 14:26, original Greek); WIND of heaven (Acts 2:1-3); BREATH OF GOD (Gen. 2:7; John 20:22); RIVERS OF LIVING WATER (John 7:38); OIL OF JOY and the OIL OF GLADNESS (Is. 61:3; Ps. 45:7); SPIRIT OF TRUTH (John 15:26); SPIRIT OF FAITH (2 Cor. 4:13); SPIRIT OF LIFE (Rom. 8:1-2); SPIRIT OF HOLINESS (Rom. 1:4); SPIRIT OF LOVE (2 Tim. 1:7); SPIRIT OF POWER (2 Tim. 1:7); SPIRIT OF A SOUND MIND (2 Tim. 1:7); SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING (Is. 11:2); SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND MIGHT (Is. 11:2); SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE (Is. 11:2); SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD (Is. 11:2); SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION (Eph. 1:17); SPIRIT OF ADOPTION (Rom. 8:15); SPIRIT OF PROMISE (Eph. 1:13); SPIRIT OF GLORY, THE SHEKINAH (1 Pet. 4:14); SPIRIT OF JUDGMENT (Is. 4:4); SPIRIT OF BURNING (Is. 4:4); SPIRIT OF PROPHECY (Rev. 19:10); SPIRIT OF CHRIST, the SPIRIT OF THE MESSIAH, and the ANOINTING that destroys the yoke (1 Pet. 1:11; Is. 10:27); SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD (Eph. 1:13; Rev. 7:2); GUARANTEE OF MY INHERITANCE (Eph. 1:13-14); ETERNAL SPIRIT (Heb. 9:14); SPIRIT OF GRACE (Zech. 12:10) and; SPIRIT OF SUPPLICATION (Zech. 12:10).

Further, the Church fathers note “in a letter that was circulated by the church in Smyrna following the death of Polycarp (c. A.D. 69-155), a disciple of the apostle John, who was being burned alive, these words were recorded:
“Wherefore also I praise you [God, the Father] for all things, I bless you, along with the everlasting and heavenly Jesus Christ, your beloved Son, with whom, to you and the Holy Spirit be glory both now and to all coming ages. Amen” (Epistle from Smyrna, XIV).
The epistle also closes with a benediction of “glory for ever and ever” to Lord Jesus Christ, the Father, and the Holy Spirit (XXII)

Considering the wide variance of the Holy Spirit’s involvement I couldn’t see how Christians wouldn’t consider worshipping the HS.
