God is God

Comforter, Holy Spirit, given by God

John 14:26 KJV
[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Points:

-- the Father shall give you another Comforter --- John 14:16
-- the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, will the Father send in my name --- John 14:26
-- I will send the Comforter to you from the Father --- John 15:26
-- Peter said, Ananias, you have not lied to men, but to God --- Acts 5:3-4
-- The Apostles are witnesses, so also the Holy Spirit, whom God gives to the obedient --- Acts 5:32
-- One God and Father of all, who is above all, through all, and in you all --- Ephesians 4:6
-- he therefore that despises, despises God who has given his holy Spirit --- 1 Thessalonians 4:8

Commentary

-- In Acts 5:3-4 Ananias has lied to the holy Spirit living within him. Peter said he had lied to the Holy Spirit in verse three, and now in verse four he has said that Ananias has also lied to God. That is taken from the fact that God gives us his holy Spirit. There is only one holy Spirit, and that is the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Jesus. The three are individual, and yet the same.

-- Notice that it is the same Spirit that gives different gifts to each as he see fit. It is also the Spirit that comes to live within each person and this same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead which will also raise us from the dead. The only way that the Holy Spirit can be doing all this at the same time is if the Holy Spirit is God. Only God can be in all places at the same time. There is only one God, one Spirit, and one Savior, who is Jesus. Jesus is the only name given to men whereby we may be saved.
