Personhood by the power of the Holy Spirit

dr. pinkham cites gordon fee who “finds it ‘utterly tragic that most expressions of the protestant tradition have ended up being trinitarian in name only, but not in practice.’ fee refers here to the ignorance of the person and work of the Holy spirit that leads so much of the protestant church to be, practically, binitarians (acknowledging only two persons in the godhead). christian spirituality, however, cannot be undertaken without the aid of the holy spirit. . . . pinkham cites shivers who writes, ‘just as christ’s personhood is characterized by relationship with others through the power of the spirit, so human personhood must be characterised by the same.’ therefore the recognition of the role of the holy spirit is integral to the person of christ himself, as well as the christian emulation of christ.”
