A clear distinction is drawn between Jesus Christ, who goes away and the Holy Spirit, who comes to take His place.

A clear distinction is drawn between the Son exalted to the right hand of the Father, and the Father Himself, and the Holy Spirit, whom the Son receives from the Father and sheds upon the church.
