Holy Ghost Or Holy Spirit?

Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?

Here are some thoughts to consider:

1. Should we refer to the Third Member of the Godhead as Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?

2. Is the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit a God?

3. Does the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit have to receive a body eventually, in other words will he be born?

Spirit Holy Ghost Holy

This is according to my understanding.

1. He is the Holy Ghost.

2. The Holy Ghost is a god.

3. The Holy Ghost will have to receive a body in order to attain the fulness of Godhood.

The Holy Spirit is the effect of Jesus Christ.

Again, this is ONLY according to MY understanding.

Holy Ghost Or Holy Spirit? Studies Doctrine Mormon

1. Should we refer to the Third Member of the Godhead as Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit?
I have heard Prophets refer to him as Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost, So I don't think it matters what we call him

2. Is the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit a God?
If he is in the Godhead Yes in everyright.

3. Does the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit have to receive a body eventually, in other words will he be born?
I have "preached" about this extensively in another thread on this site. I will recap. Yes, he will be born, Joseph Smith Said, "That the Holy Ghost is in a form of probation and if fulfills it in all righteousness, then he will go through a simular or exact course has Christ did."

Spirit Holy Ghost Holy

Adding to Zelph's comment, I think he can be called by either name, but I think that "Holy Ghost" is more appropriate. After all, a spirit can either be a soul/being or a feeling such as the "spirit of happiness", while a ghost is limited to a soul/being. Since the Holy Ghost is not just a feeling, then I believe that "Holy Ghost" would be a more accurate name.
