What the Bible says about The Father, working in Christ, reconciling
(From Forerunner Commentary)

2 Corinthians 5:19 The Father, working in Christ, is reconciling the world to Him, and there is no mention of the Holy Spirit as a personality playing a part in this work. The key is "as a personality." Personalities are named frequently—the Father and the Son—but the Holy Spirit is never mentioned as a personality. The Holy Spirit does play a part in the reconciliation of the world to God and to Christ—as a power used to energize us and change our minds. But not as a personality! John W. Ritenbaugh The Holy Spirit Related Topics: God was, by means of Christ, reconciling | God was, in union with Christ, reconciling | Holy Spirit | Reconciliation | Reconciliation with God
