Spirit of God or Holy Spirit, biblical verses

There are many types of spirit, and God is one of them. So if we refer to the spirit of God, we need to attach the word ‘holy’ to mean that the spirit we point out is God’s spirit. We can also capitalize the ‘S’ of the word ‘spirit’ to mean that this spirit is the supreme being. Thus the ‘holy spirit’, ‘spirit of God’, or ‘Spirit’ mentioned on this post are synonymous.

They were listed among the elders, but did not go out to the tent. Yet the Spirit also rested on them, and they prophesied in the camp.

The word of Jesus, John 4:25-26

The Hebrew word ‘Messiah’ literally means ‘the Anointed one’, but its whole meaning is ‘the anointed king of God’. The Greek translation of Messiah is ‘Khristós’ (Χριστός), anglicized as Christ.
