Yup.

The Holy Spirit is not a " third being " who isn't Jesus, mediating between man and God.

It's Christ's presence through the spirit within us (which comes from the Father). It's the spirit of Christ, which makes us Sons of God and members of God's family.
 Quoting: Photina


I understand, and do initially agree with it being the spirit of Christ. But what about this verse?

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

In these words Jesus seems to be referring to an advocate other than himself.
 Quoting: 1908247


To even entertain this would be acknowledging another possible mediator between man and God.

Another "way" and another "life", another spirit, another Christ, etc.
 Quoting: Photina


Not necessarily. Do you believe that it could refer to a mediator between man and the spirit of Christ which comforts?

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
 Quoting: 1908247


It's the spirit of Christ. His presence in us.
