Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as "He" and a "Him". In the below scripture the references to are done in the Greek as masculine but whether that is meaning He is male is a different story.
What it boils down to is that the Holy Spirit is a Being that feels, teaches, grieves, loves, fellowships..etc. and He lives in us now.
John 14:16-17 (NASB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP] "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
[SUP]17 [/SUP] that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
Are you sure? Maybe it's talking about the Lord's mother?..just kidding....
( we can thank God it's not a mother-in-law...lol....just kidding again as there are many good ones. )John 14:16-17 sure sounds like a different Being than the Lord. I suppose this comes down to what does one believes about the Trinity. There are lot's of threads on that subject.
At Jesus' water baptism we see the Holy Spirit descending down on Jesus and the Father says "This is my beloved Son". Looks like a few Being's showing Themselves at the same time.
Anyway that topic is for another thread. Lot's of "works" still being done in this one.
It is my humble opinion the mind is the temple,AND THE TEMPLE IS THE CROWN.
The crown is situated between the eyebrow and the and the hair line,, so you may want to give it a rub.
Becarfull not to rub it to hard as you may squash the spirit.
This is the true meaning of renewing your mind daily rub wash rinse and reapeat daily. chuckle chuckle.
Your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

1 Cor 7:14
Even the elect can fall away (But not lost) ,, and i have sripture to prove it or better still google fall away and work it out for your self. The spirit the father and the son will never fall away so there for you may be holy but not holier than thow meaning Lord. (But yes you can strive to be like him.).
You may be holy i dont know to me your a text on the pc i dont know you.
The thing is tho do you renew your mind daily or are you to perfect for that. ?[/QUOTE]
This is where self descriptive words have to be put in brackets.
We what we are, and God loves us. It is the walk and fellowship that matters and loving
those we meet. In terms of encouragement we need this everyday from the Lord and
our fellow believers family.
And our minds are always renewed, because nothing stands still.

Marie is a female French name. Does that mean that all Maries's are humans and females? Or is Marie a peculiarty of language?
And so this supposed "power" only thing grieves like God does? Loves like a Being does?..etc...etc
So, an "it" has God attributes? Can an "it" grieve from it's heart? Can an "it" love from it's heart? Can an "it" express joy?
Can an "it" speak and send out people like Holy Spirit did in Acts to Paul and Barnabas when "He" said "Separate unto Me for the work that I have set them apart to do." then the scripture says " Having been sent out by the Holy Spirit - Paul and Barnabas went...." Acts 13:1-4
You can believe He is an "it" if you like but I will never fall for it myself.
