In Christian theology, the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity, equal with the Father and the Son as a part of the Godhead. Being personal like the other members of the Trinity, the Spirit is referred to as a "he," not an "it."
The Holy Spirit is sometimes referred to as the Holy Ghost, particularly by conservative Pentecostal groups and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This name was used in the King James Bible and was the common term until the 20th century. Christian beliefs about the Holy Spirit are expressed in the Bible and Christian doctrines.
