You were referring to Jesus, but then again even the bible calls Spirit "it"...why? Because Spirit is neuter gender. The greek word is Neuter gender and so it takes a neuter gender pronoun. That does not make Spirit a non-living thing. Jesus, before the incarnation is not merely an "it" (the plan or logos of God) but is God Himself.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
