Belgic Confession, Article 11: The Deity of the Holy Spirit
This excerpt from Article 11 of the Belgic Confession establishes the full deity of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity, affirming His eternal procession from the Father and Son and His equality in essence, majesty, and glory with the Godhead. The article presents a foundational Reformed statement on pneumatology drawn from one of the Protestant Reformed movement's classical confessional documents, making it essential for understanding traditional Reformed theology on the person and nature of the Holy Spirit.
Article 11: The Deity of the Holy Spirit We believe and confess also that the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son—neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but only proceeding from the two of them.In regard to order, the Spirit is the third person of the Trinity—of one and the same essence, and majesty, and glory, with the Father and the Son,being true and eternal God,as the Holy Scriptures teach us.
