Holy Trinity Orthodox Church attaches great importance to the status and role. Because Orthodox man's ultimate goal - salvation, forgiveness of sins do not see, but get "deification", and this purpose is not only dependent on the Father and the Son, and God the Trinity requires another bit cell exists, it is coming in the world after the Son, this is the Holy Spirit. People living in the world, which sanctified by the Holy Spirit is accomplished.According to Orthodox theologians view Scholastics Anselm reason why the rescue is only attributed to Christ's atonement achievements, we split a complete Christianity, precisely because it was the West has lost the true concept of Person of the Holy Spirit, so that The Holy Spirit began retreated to a secondary position,Son became assistant.
From the point of view the status of the Holy Spirit, if the Spirit from the Son, then Christ affiliation, large Western Spirit often considered not having a body, and is the relationship between the Father and the Son. But the Holy Spirit Orthodox believe the Holy Spirit comes only from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit seems to be an equal relationship.
From the role of the Holy Spirit, the Orthodox from the "business" aspect to understand the Holy Spirit. Son and Holy Spirit each with its own mandate and mission, is the partnership between them, not affiliation;Son is through the Holy Spirit and the Incarnation. Christ by means of the Holy Spirit to complete his earthly career, he does not have the presence of the Holy Spirit. After the Ascension, Pentecost people children, continue to cause complete deification; the role of Christ and the Holy Spirit for different people. Under Christ to the world and human nature combined, the essence is common to man; the Holy Spirit is the personal face, personality of the Holy Spirit, a single deity perfect way to convey to everyone.
In terms of performance of the Holy Spirit, Orthodox theologians believe that the Holy Spirit is God's presence in our midst, the presence of the Holy Spirit is not to suppress the empirical world, but to save it, this in place all united in the same truth, but were given a variety of life skills, the Holy Spirit is the giver, it is always higher than all creation exists, it is the tradition of the Church and protector of inheritance, while his presence again so that people become truly free children of God.
