The Light of Christ VS The Holy Ghost

The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit and a member of the Godhead. Elder Joseph Fielding Smith taught that “the Holy Ghost should not be confused with the Spirit [the Light of Christ] which fills the immensity of space and which is everywhere present. This other Spirit is impersonal and has no size, nor dimensions; it proceeds forth from the presence of the Father and the Son and is in all things. We should speak of the Holy Ghost as a personage as ‘he’ and this other Spirit as ‘it,’ although when we speak of the power or gift of the Holy Ghost we may properly say ‘it.’” ¹Brent Bulloch, instructor at the Tempe Institute of Religion adjacent to Arizona State University.

The more I learn about the Light of Christ, the more I understand where the writers of the Nicean creed got their definition of God. The commonly accepted description of God, more accurately hits the definition of the Light of Christ.
