Divinity of the Holy Spirit
The Spirit who spoke through the prophets is no servant but the Lord himself
This doctrine confesses that the Holy Spirit is fully and coequally God, to be worshiped and glorified together with the Father and the Son. Defended by Basil of Caesarea in On the Holy Spirit and affirmed at the Council of Constantinople in 381, it answered those, called Pneumatomachians or Macedonians, who denied the Spirit's full divinity. The Spirit shares the one Godhead, not a lesser or created rank.
