“unity of the spirit.” This is the genitive of production, meaning the unity produced by the spirit (Wallace, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, p. 105). This is picked up in Kistemaker’s translation: “unity imparted by the Spirit,” although Kistemaker is thinking in terms of “Spirit” being the third Person in the Trinity rather than God and Christ working to produce unity in the Body of Christ via the gift of holy spirit that is born and sealed in each Christian (Eph. 1:13, 14). The genitive of production is very similar to the genitive of origin, except the word in the genitive (in this case spirit) is more active in a genitive of production; rather than simply being the source of the unity, the spirit is both the source and producer of that unity. It is of note that we are called only to “maintain” this unity, not to produce it. The unity we are supposed to maintain is the natural result of holy spirit being inside each believer. It makes us all brothers and fellow-members of the same Body, and works in us to conform us to the image of Christ (Gal. 5:17), and it is the primary vehicle through which God and Christ can give us revelation and move us towards both wanting to do, and doing, God’s will (Phil. 2:13)

I did address your point about the Holy Spirit being "interchangeable" as you put it.
I use my friends website because they expound it much better than I can.
You are free to browse http://www.biblicalunitarian.com/ or not.
I don't think you are going to change your thinking anyway. And BTW I did not call you an anti-Christ as you mentioned in your first reply to me.
I don't care if you think Jesus is God, that's your choice, I believe what the bible says, he is the son of God.

Doors to knock on, folk to badger, targets to make.
