The Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as Lord. Lord just means master, someone with authority, or power… someone like God for example. The Holy Spirit is God.
2 Corinthians 3:17,18
17Now
the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there
is liberty.
18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
No, you are wrong. Lord Jesus stated that He is Lord. Lord Jesus was given the name above all names. It is at the name of Jesus that every knee shall bow. The Lord Jesus was exalted and poured out the Holy Spirit. Demons are cast out in the name of Jesus. All authority and power has been given to Jesus. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus, not Himself. (John 16 lays this all out).
The Holy Spirit is indeed God, but He is not the Son. The Son is God, but He is not the Father. The Holy Spirit is in reality Jesus in a form that we can receive.
John 16
"
14He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.
15Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you."
Why does it matter? Much of the deception in these last days is due to a false understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit. One major Pentecostal denomination started teaching that now we have the Holy Spirit, we don't need Jesus. Liberty? i spent 5 years as a member of a Pentecostal church. Some of the most messed up, legalistic, unholy and unrighteous people I've ever met were also members. Derek Prince said that as a Pentecostal, he was well aware of what legalism is.
Try this out: "if you confess with your mouth the Holy Spirit is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead...." no, it makes no sense. Lord Jesus died and rose again. The Holy Spirit did not die therefore did not rise again. Lord Jesus is saviour, not the Holy Spirit. There is no name that saves except the name of Jesus (Acts 4:12).
When studying God's word it is vital to know the whole truth, not pick out one verse. This is even more important when there are so many other scriptures that relate to the same subject. I got interested in the prosperity gospel as a young Christian. It's very appealing. "Give and get rich!" I did and went broke. My motives were wrong. Then I read something that the prosperity preachers never mentioned:
"Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction." (1 Timothy 6:9)
I am well off. My needs are met. By many standards, I am rich. But I did not set out to be rich. God's blessing is on my life. There have been times when I've been poor. God uses our hard times to teach us life lessons. When we've learned them, the pressure is eased. Prosperity preachers imply that you have no faith when things are tough. Very often, it's not true.
