The statement of the Apostle, that all things are of the
Father by the Son, does not separate the Spirit from Their company,
since what is referred to one Person is also attributed to each.
So those baptized in the Name of Christ are held to be baptized in the
Name of the Father and of the Holy Spirit, if, that is, there is belief
in the Three Persons, otherwise the baptism will be null. This
also applies to baptism in the Name of the Holy Spirit. If
because of one passage the Holy Spirit is separated from the Father and
the Son, it will necessarily follow from other passages that the Father
will be subordinated to the Son. The Son is worshipped by angels,
not by the Spirit, for the latter is His witness, not His
servant. Where the Son is spoken of as being before all, it is to
be understood of creatures. The great dignity of the Holy Spirit
is proved by the absence of forgiveness for the sin against Him.
How it is that such sin cannot be forgiven, and how the Spirit is
one.
