It's important to know there's a difference because then we will be able to receive and tune into the Holy Ghost as you said it will be for our survival in the coming days.įor a deeper dive into this topic here's another great article I recommend you check out Reply Delete We refer to it as our conscience, and it emanates from God, operating under the power and authority of Jesus Christ. It’s the thing inside us that tells us right from wrong. In Moroni 7:16-18, Moroni tells us that the Spirit of Christ is the Light of Christ. It’s the spirit substance controlled by Jesus Christ but not his own immortal spirit that gives him his identity. This makes it appropriate to call the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, but this is something different. Sometimes in scripture, the Holy Ghost is referred to as the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Ghost is a holy being of spirit without a physical body.
