The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is included in the Trinity, which is made up of 3 distinct persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19, John 14:16-17, 2 Corinthians 13:14, Acts 2:32-33). They are three distinct Persons, yet they are all one substance - God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., demonstrating qualities of a person.
The Holy Spirit is mentioned on equal level with God (Acts 5:3-4, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians, 13:14, Ephesians 4:4-6, 2 Corinthians 3:16-18) He is coeternal, coequal and co-powerful.
There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son (John 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, John 16:13-14), and the Son is subordinate to the Father (Luke 22:4, John 5:36). This is an internal relationship and does not mean they are not equally God.

Creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2, Job 26:13, Psalm 104:30)
