Who or What is the Holy Spirit?

Most Christians today view the Holy Spirit as a separate being with God our Father and our savior, Jesus Christ and that these three form a Triune Godhead. But is the Holy Spirit a separate being, co-equal and co-eternal being with the Father and the Son? Or is it a part of our Father in Heaven, that He sends out from Himself to those of His choosing to help them in their Christian calling? God's Holy Word makes the truth about the Holy Spirit very clear. This truth is foundational for every person's Christian faith.
