This explanation has no bearing with what Christians believe. Your explanation is much more relevant to African traditional religion, folklore and Middle Eastern religions.

Holy Ghost comes with "fire" thats why you hear... Holy Ghost Fire !!!

But Holy Spirit is gentle... He only concern himself with prophesying, speaking in tongue and doing miracles.

While Holy Spirit helps you identify ur enemy... Holy Ghost helps you finish the enemy with fire. grin

There is nothing like "Holy Ghost fire".

The Holy Ghost is the anointing and power of Christ

The Holy Spirit is the Father Himself

Ghost is the imaginary spirit of a dead man.
Spirit is the invincible force that never had body or what we call flesh. They are angels and demons.
Therefore, ghost can never be holy.

Re: Holy Ghost Vs Holy Spirit by mobolaji2303: 10:28am On Mar 25, 2018
what so many Christians don't know is that, the word in the greek Bible is "pneuma" which can be ghost or spirit.
now some people decide to use each word for different occasions.
for example, jehovah's witnesses would use spirit when it comes to the Holy Spirit but will use ghost when talking about a dead person meanwhile, the Bible they translated from says pneuma in both places, so it's all deciet. if it's ghost, write ghost if it's spirit, be consistent

Mistranslation from the king James Version. Ghost is defined as "In folklore, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear to the living." Ghost is associated to dead souls. The correct translation is Holy Spirit. Holy Ghost is not used in modern translations.

We are all slaves to what we believe. If you are secure in your religion you will have no reason to defend it and become aggressive to the point of calling people names. But wisdom is proved right by all her children.
I restate what I have stated earlier, your post has no bearing with the Christian faith. If you think it does, kindly prove me wrong.

Re: Holy Ghost Vs Holy Spirit by Dotng: 11:19am On Mar 25, 2018
Of the modern English translations of the Bible, it is only the King James Version of the Bible which uses the term “Holy Ghost.” It occurs 90 times in the KJV. The term “Holy Spirit” occurs 7 times in the KJV. There is no clear reason as to why the KJV translators used Ghost in most places and then Spirit in a few. The exact same Greek and Hebrew words are translated "ghost" and "spirit" in the KJV in different occurrences of the words. By "ghost," the KJV translators did not intend to communicate the idea of "the spirit of a deceased person." In 1611, when the KJV was originally translated, the word "ghost" primarily referred to "an immaterial being."

With recent Scripture translations, "Spirit" has replaced "Ghost" in most instances. Some of this came about because words don't always hold their meanings. In the days of Shakespeare or King James, ghost meant the living essence of a person. Looking back, we see that "breath" or "soul" were often used as synonyms of "ghost." During these times, spirit normally meant the essence of a departed person or a demonic or paranormal apparition. As language evolved, people started saying "ghost" when speaking of the vision of a dead person while "spirit" became the standard term for life or living essence, often also for "soul." With slight exceptions, "ghost" and "spirit" changed places over some 300 years.

The real issue is that both "Holy Ghost" and "Holy Spirit" refer to the Third Person of the Trinity, coequal and consubstantial with the Father and the Son (Matthew 28:19; Acts 5:3,4; 28:25,26; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6). He is the gift of the Father to His people on earth to initiate and complete the building of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13). He is also the agency by which the world is convicted of sin, the Lord Jesus is glorified, and believers are transformed into His image (John 16:7-9; Acts 1:5, 2:4; Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 2:22). Whichever term we use, we remember that this Holy Ghost is God's active breath, blowing where He wishes, creating faith through water and Word.

You're 100% correct. The Bible never taught anything about a dead person coming to life not in person. All na Satan's propaganda. Ghost in this case is unscriptural.

Tetragramaton:
There is nothing like holyghost. Its a very bad misconception. I don't think its even in the bible. What is holy about a ghost. Define ghost, a ghost is the soul or a spirit of a person or animal that can appear to the living. So tell me how it's holy? A ghost does not connote anything good.

The real word is holy spirit. There can be evil or good spirit. In this case we are calling on a good spirit which is the holy spirit. Nothing like holy ghost.

Holy Ghost was used more than Holy Spirit in the KJV of the Bible. As a matter of fact, it is the more modern versions that have favored the use of Holy Spirit over Holy Ghost.

Don’t be afraid to ask your pastor or someone else who is spiritually mature if you don’t understand something. God doesn’t want you to be ignorant of His truth, and they will want to help you. God has given people like this to us “to strengthen and encourage you in your faith” (1 Thessalonians 3:2).

The terms “Holy Spirit” and “Holy Ghost” mean exactly the same thing; both refer to the third Person of the Trinity (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit). The phrase “Holy Ghost” is simply an older term that dates back several hundred years, and is found in some old versions of the English Bible (such as the King James Version). Because the word “ghost” has a different meaning today than it did several hundred years ago, modern translations of the Bible always use “Holy Spirit.”

Remember that the Holy Spirit is God Himself, and He is at work both in the world and in our hearts. When we come to Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us; in fact, we can’t even come to Him until He convicts us of our sins and convinces us of our need to commit our lives to Christ. Jesus said, “When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:cool.

But God has given His Spirit to us for another reason: to teach us and open our eyes to God’s truth as it is found in the Bible. Is this happening in your life?


If God is a spirit and God is Holy, we say his spirit is Holy, then we have Holy spirit.

But can you say God is a ghost? Can you say ghosts are holy?

What is the true definition of a Spirit and a ghost?

Then we can know which one is Biblical and which is not.

There is no confusion in Christ or christianity but the ignorance of the believers makes it confusing because we are too lazy to find out the truth on our own

Kindly show us proof.

πνεύματος this is that we have in the Greek scripture.

And what does it mean?

From these screenshots, are these words the same as you claim?
