Kirk responds:
That is right. That does not make that statement evil, follow:

The following definition is for Holy Ghost.
4151  pneuma (pnyoo'-mah);

from 4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or
figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication)
vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon,
or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:

KJV-- ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Compare 5590.

The same Greek word is used for all the New Testament referances for the
Holy Spirit. I think that we are batting and nats, and such open a door that
does not need to be opened.

Kirk Responds:
In reality, think that it is correction that should have been made long ago.
Spirit lines up with John 4:24, and the word Ghost in reality means a
disenfranchised soul, that is left on earth. I would think that the word
Ghost would in reality add to the concept of a 3rd person.....
