@ OP,

Buzugee is right. They are the same but used interchangeably. Some even use soul and mind interchangeably but the right usage should be soul and spirit depending on the context.

but there is a school of thought that a typical human being is 3 in 1 . how right is that?

Buzugee is wrong as usual.
There is a huge difference.
Spirit is everywhere. There are good and evil spirits, there is a holy spirit, an amadioha spirit, etc. No soul equvalents. Ever heard of the Holy Soul?.
Spirits can exist on their own and interact with the living. It is your virtual self. Souls live inside people and record everything for judgement.

Put is this way: the soul is the internal hard drive god put in you to record all your actions. When you die, this data is transfered to the mobile external drive called spirit. It is the spirit that wanders the earth as ghosts. It is the spirit that will stand judgement based on its data. And it is the spirit that will enjoy heaven or endure hell.
The bible made clear that souls die. Spirits never die.
Ezekiel 18:20, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."

You can't have control over your spirit 'cos your spirit is the real you. You, the spirit, controls the soul in ideal cases. The problem is that most of us allow the contents of the soul to control us, hence the world in disarray.

I believe there are three things that make a human;body,soul and spirit.
Body is your flesh. It demands for food,cloth and sex.
Soul is your mind. Intellectual being. It demands for canal knowledge. Soul does corrupt.
While spirit is the real being. God communicate to us through spirit because God,Himself is spirit.

Good post from you, OP,
GOD IS A SPIRIT, IT TAKES A SPIRIT TO CREATE A SOUL, SPIRIT IS FROM ABOVE, WHILE SOUL IS EARTHY, THE PRESENCE OF A SPIRIT INSIDE A BODY MAKES IT A LIVING SOUL.
THERES NO SOUL WITHOUT SPIRIT, A SOUL IS DESIGNED TO RELATE AND FUNCTION WITH THE WORLD
YES INFORMATION IS STORED IN A SOUL
THE DIFFERENNCE BETWEEN MAN AND ANIMALS IS SPIRIT
A DOG WILL ACT LIKE A MAN IF THE SPIRIT OF A MAN IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO IT AND A MAN CAN ACT LIKE A DOG IF THE SPIRIT OF A DOG IS BEING TRANSFERED TO HIM.

THE POWERHOUSE OF THE SOUL IS THE BRAIN (MEMORY)
AND THE SPIRIT CONTROLS THE SOUL (BRAIN , MEMORY, THINKING FACULTY)
EMOTIONS ARE EVIDENCE THAT SPIRITS ARE PRESENT IN A BODY

THE SPIRIT THAT MAKES MAN A LIVING SOUL IS DIVINE,ITS FROM GOD ALONE

The human being is made of three parts which are:

Body (flesh)
Soul(mind) and
Spirit.

The three is inseparable until death. The spirit is like a template that can be easily possessed.

This very nature of the spirit is what gives right to the issues of demon possessed humans or even somebody getting 'born again'.

because the spirit controls everything we are, it remains the most important part of every human. You can be spirit minded (having your soul having a union with your spirit) or canally minded(having your flesh and soul in union). The former gives rise to life while the latter is death.

The Spirit is the invisible force that inhabits the soul on which the soul travels.
The soul is the ether of the spirit.

GOD IS A SPIRIT and the Spirit gives the breath of life for every living soul.
Re: What Is The Difference Between SOUL & SPIRIT? by 401kk: 6:02pm On Jun 22, 2012
Soul and spirit are two different things. The soul is the human body/being while the spirit is the "force" that gives life to a body or soul.
Without the spirit, the body is "dead".
Re: What Is The Difference Between SOUL & SPIRIT? by denitro(m): 6:20pm On Jun 22, 2012
The spirit and body together constitute the Soul of Man (Mankind). "The spirit and the body are the soul of man"
The soul is the union of a spirit, and a temporal body, which is formed by physical conception on earth.
After death, the spirit continues to live and progress in the Spirit world until the resurrection,
when it is reunited with the body that once housed it. This reuniting of body and spirit results in a perfect soul
that is immortal and eternally young and healthy

do u now believe in God? U talked as if u now believe that God exists or are u high on some white stuff at the moment? Because i know u as a diehard atheist. Can't believe u are now mentioning God, heaven, holy spirit, hell and judgement. Hmm
Re: What Is The Difference Between SOUL & SPIRIT? by lwise(m): 6:25pm On Jun 22, 2012
We are all made up of body,soul and spirit.The body cannot live without the spirit.The body is just ordinary flesh that habours the soul.The soul is the real being.The spirit is the force that drives the soul in a body.When the spirit is taken,the body becomes dead and the true being(soul) returns to the maker to receive judgement.Spirit and soul never die.Spirit is released as a breath of life to a newly created soul in a body.
