The Holy Spirit Studies
Although the dove is often used as a symbol of the Holy Spirit, this is generally misleading.
His appearance as a 'dove' at Christ's baptism simply symbolized the new beginning in Christ
(just as the dove of Noah had then indicated a new beginning for humanity after the world Flood).
— But the 'dove' does not represent His eternal nature; nor the character of His personal relationship to Christians —
