<P> The term Holy Spirit appears at least 90 times in the New Testament . The sacredness of the Holy Spirit to Christians is affirmed in all three Synoptic Gospels ( Matthew 12 : 30 -- 32 , Mark 3 : 28 -- 30 and Luke 12 : 8 -- 10 ) which proclaim that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin . The participation of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity is suggested in Jesus ' final post-Resurrection instruction to his disciples at the end of the Gospel of Matthew ( 28 : 19 ) : `` Go ye therefore , and make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit '' . </P>
