this isn't an important question but my mother asked me this last week on the phone.Are theHoly Spirit and the Holy Ghost the same? She stated that her pastor preached that they were not, that the Holy Spirit is Jesus and the Holy Ghost is simply the Holy Ghost.
I have a King James and Amplified parallel bible and from my short review on this topic, they are the same.

What are you views?
In German it's Holy Ghost and in Latin it's Holy Spirit. Apparently, the term Holy Ghostwas commonamong us English speakers. But for some reason the term Holy Spirit became more common. Catholics would use the term Holy Spirit since that's how it come out in Latin which used to be the language of the mass.

I heard Jesus He drank wine and I bet we'd get along just fine.
John 14: 16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. amen..thank you Jesus
I also know the Holy Ghost and Holy Spirit are the same. Jesus had many names but just like the bible says in Hebrews 13:8 JesusChrist the same yesterday, and today, and tomorrow. He was still the Son of God, the prince of peace, Immanuel, the vine, the Lamb of God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Jehovah, and the list could go on and on.
The Greek word, "pneuma" is singularly translated as both Spirit and Ghost in the King James version of the Bible,soit doesn't matter which term is used, theyboth refer to the same being. In Paul's letter to the Ephesians, he emphasizes the oneness of God in chapter four by stating, there is "one Spirit, one Lord, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is one Spirit -the Spirit of God who Jesus spoke of inthe gospel of John chapters 14 and 15. He told his disciples that the Comforter, who is the Holy Ghost, would teach us, and guide us into all truth. Before His ascension,He also instructed His disciples that they would bewitnesses of His resurrection to all the world, but they were to waitin Jerusalemuntil the Spirit came, and filled themall with power from on high.
The Holy Spirit never testifies of Himself, but always exalts the One who is the head of all principality and power; the one in whom dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily, the Lord Jesus Christ!
