    Christian theology generally agrees that only One Godhead, Three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit (but the Father is not the Son, is not the Holy Spirit, and vise versa),
    I have a question:
    Does each person in the Godhead have his own spirit?
    If yes, it means Father has spirit, the Son has spirit, The Holy Spirit has spirit,
    in this case, the same Godhead should have 3 spirits, right or not?

    You keep on pocking to make fun. There is only one spirit . one God, and one manifestation in flesh Son
    You seams interested in the bible , it seams all for criticism .
    Do you follow any belief , or are you an atheist ?

    You mean the made up non-existent God? As many as we want him to have!

    If you're looking for a sensible explanation, you're out of luck.

    I suppose they could be regarded as different aspects or attributes of one spirit. If you tried to connect and force a variety of scattered passages to be interconsistent. Sometimes much like interpreting the quatrains of Nostradamus or searching for meaningful patterns in the randomness of textured ceiling tiles. Where there is ample vagueness there is a mirror for reflecting yet another person's conception of the text.

    Seven Spirits of God

    What a cynic might regard as a convenient explanation for dense metaphor:

    "...only by understanding the spiritual (abstract) meanings found within the Biblical text can you receive spiritual and consciousness maturity; a literal interpretation has never produced spiritual growth!"

    First establish what is spirit , what is the attitude of the spirit, If the son obeys the father , then the fathers spirit is in the son

    The bible never explains the essence of spirit, it just says that after our bodies die, something will continue into the next dimension of existence in the form of spirit.
    I assume that Spirit is another form of life which is invisible to our eyes but it carries information from your current life.

    I wonder how many Christians realize that they don't go to heaven when they die. I mean, according to their own faith.

    THIS!
    God is a single spirit as far as i know. The Father, the Son and the Holy spirit are one.

    You're right. Everyone goes to hell.
