But we can say
"The Last Adam became a life-giving Spirit" since that is scripture, as is
"the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:2) So is it that much of a leap to say, "Now Christ is The life-giving Spirit"? (could also throw in "the Spirit of Jesus forbade us" in Acts 16:6)
So yes, there are not a large amount of verses equating Christ with the Spirit, but there are a ton of them speaking about Christ in us, and that indwelling must be as Spirit, right?
