My little observation is, I think, a minor point in this whole thread, but just for the sake of clarifying what I said.....my main thrust is the co-equal thing.
The Holy Spirit is God, there is a Spirit of God, the Bible shows God is Spirit, etc, etc, etc, but we don't ever see things like:
"The Father delighted in the Holy Spirit" or
"The Holy Spirit submitted to the will of the Son" or
"the throne of God and of the Lamb and of the Holy Spirit" or
"I am in my Father and I am also in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is in the Father and the Son".
The Holy Spirit is simply depicted differently. "Left out" in places where we would expect to see him if he was a co-equal person of the trinity. Anyone can see that. There is a unique relationship between the Father and the Son. Of course there is a Holy Spirit, but I'm not sure how to describe it yet.
