Brother;

Point 1:
To some, the use of Holy Ghost is not as exacting as Holy Spirit. John 4:24

God is a Spirit and those that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.

I think we can all agree that the word Ghost and Spirit can, and are used interchangeably. 

Point 2:

I have heard it said this way, that He was Father in creations, Son in Salvation, and Holy Ghost in Regeneration.

Same thing.

Point 3:

We need to take the time to word smith these doc's. What one brother says may not sit well with the way that you were raised and/or you pastor teaches. We need to take a few minutes out and read the post without trying to assign evilness to it. We are all One God Apostolic, Tongue talking, holy rolling, believers in the power of Jesus name, etc etc, etc. When Discussing doctrine, there are many true points that can be made that if you dont start an post out if, "Your post is not with error" statements can be clarified.

We are all guilty of it. I am, Steve Startcher is, Sister Yohnk is, Brother Nally is, everyone on this list has at times started posts out, or within the text of the post said to the effect, Sir you have an error in what you believe. Which then gets us going down this path that leads to fights and bickering. I have a solution to this I feel, 1) I think that we should not state You have an error, but instead state, Sir, it is my understand of that is "what ever you believe". What you have done is returned what you believe, and have not challenged what he/she believes. If you receive a post that states there is an error, instead of you going off and saying "You so and so, you cannot understand the words that I speck", try saying, So you have a basic  problem with this section. If I understand you, you object to this part or that, for these following reasons.

What that does is give a chance for clarification. If removes the threats, and/or perceived threats that can and will occur.

In Jesus
