§244The eternal origin of the Holy Spirit is revealed in his mission in time. the Spirit is sent to the apostles and to the Church both by the Father in the name of the Son, and by the Son in person, once he had returned to the Father.69 The sending of the person of the Spirit after Jesus' glorification70 reveals in its fullness the mystery of the Holy Trinity.

§248At the outset the Eastern tradition expresses the Father's character as first origin of the Spirit. By confessing the Spirit as he "who proceeds from the Father", it affirms that he comes from the Father through the Son.77 The Western tradition expresses first the consubstantial communion between Father and Son, by saying that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son (fi…

§719John the Baptist is "more than a prophet."94 In him, the Holy Spirit concludes his speaking through the prophets. John completes the cycle of prophets begun by Elijah.95 He proclaims the imminence of the consolation of Israel; he is the "voice" of the Consoler who is coming.96 As the Spirit of truth will also do, John "came to bear witness to the light."97 In John's sight, the …

1. It was probable that many of those who were more weakly would especially distrust the promises of Christ because He had died. Paul accordingly out of a superabundance introduced this illustration, deriving it from common custom. Of what kind is it? He says, indeed, on this very account we ought to be of good courage. On what account? Because testaments are established and ob…

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Calvin expounds the union of believers with Christ under the figure of the vine and branches. Apart from Christ we can do nothing — every branch that does not bear fruit is taken away, and every fruitful branch is purged. The disciples are chosen and appointed to bear fruit. The hatred of the world toward believers is not sur…

48. What advancement then was it to the Immortal to have assumed the mortal? Or what promotion is it to the Everlasting to have put on the temporal? What reward can be great to the Everlasting God and King in the bosom of the Father? See ye not, that this too was done and written because of us and for us, that us who are mortal and temporal, the Lord, become man, might make imm…

Is there procession in God? Can any procession in God be called generation? Can there be any other procession in God besides generation? Can that other procession be called generation? Are there more than two processions in God? Article 1. Whether there is procession in God? Objection 1. It would seem that there cannot be any procession in God. For procession signifies outward …

Q. Since there is but one God, why do you speak of three: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? A. Because that is how God has revealed himself in his Word: these three distinct persons are one, true, eternal God.

We believe and confess also that the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son—neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but only proceeding from the two of them. In regard to order, the Spirit is the third person of the Trinity—of one and the same essence, and majesty, and glory, with the Father and the Son, being true and eternal God, as the Holy Scriptures te…

We believe and teach that God is one in essence or nature, subsisting in himself, all-sufficient in himself, invisible, incorporeal, immense, eternal, Creator of all things both visible and invisible, the greatest good, living, quickening and preserving all things, omnipotent and supremely wise, gentle or merciful, just and true. And we detest the multitude of gods because it i…

We believe, then, in One God, one beginning , having no beginning, uncreate, unbegotten, imperishable and immortal, everlasting, infinite, uncircumscribed, boundless, of infinite power, simple, uncompound, incorporeal, without flux, passionless, unchangeable, unalterable, unseen, the fountain of goodness and justice, the light of the mind, inaccessible; a power known by no meas…

We believe in one God, true, almighty, and infinite, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; the Father unbegotten; the Son begotten of the Father before the ages, and consubstantial with Him; and the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father, and consubstantial with the Father and the Son. These three Persons in one essence we call the All-Holy Trinity, by all creation to be ev…

We believe the most good God to be infinite in essence, incomprehensible, omnipotent, merciful, free, the Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and that the All-Holy Trinity comprehendeth in Three Persons — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — one in essence, and undivided. The Father is unbegotten, the Son begotten, and the Spirit proceedeth…

We believe the three Persons of the Holy Trinity — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — to be one God, one in essence, and inseparable. The Father is altogether unbegotten and unoriginate; the Son is begotten of the Father before the ages; the Holy Spirit proceedeth from the Father, as from a fountain and cause. These are three Persons in one Godhead, equal in honor, in m…

I believe in the Holy Spirit.

Tertullian teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son and is the third Person of the Trinity. The Spirit is the Vicar of Christ, sent to guide believers into all truth. The three Persons are distinct but inseparable in their operations.
