Much like their perceptions of Satan, most Christians do not believe that the Holy Spirit is a living force, either. Overall, 38% strongly agreed and 20% agreed somewhat that the Holy Spirit is “a symbol of God’s power or presence but is not a living entity.” Just one-third of Christians disagreed that the Holy Spirit is not a living force (9% disagreed somewhat, 25% disagreed strongly) while 9% were not sure.
Time for a Dawntreader poll for those readers who are professing Christians. Post a comment.
Is the Holy Spirit a living and personal entity? (iow, you should answer "no" if you think the Holy Spirit is a symbol of God's power).
I would like to compare my audience with the average American "Christian".
