1. but in the 4 verses you mentioned the word Spirit is always included in context of its usage. Some today use an impersonal "it" to refer to the Spirit of God ... like "Did you receive it?' ... never once acknowledging it is the Spirit of the living God ... but simply the experience.

Nice avoidance of the actual facts. The Scripture clearly uses the word 'it' in reference to the Spirit of God in the passages I cited. Case closed. (Unless of course, you believe the Holy Word of God is wrong....)

2. I also see a freedom, or creative license, used by KJV translators in using the Greek work "to", "o","ho" ... as it ... when those words are properly translated as "this"

Of course you do. When the Bible plainly contradicts your premise, you 'see creative license' in the Scripture rather than where it belongs - your interpretation.

Clearly the Apostles in their original intent did not refer the the Spirit of God as an it ... but you can if you like.

I am simply quoting the Bible, which uses 'it' to refer to the Spirit of God. Obviously, you did not bother with much of my post, which clearly explained how and why this is not only possible, but normal.
I am always somewhat amused at how some people take their personal grievances with some abstract 'movement' and apply it to such things as grammar and the plain text of Scripture.
Funny.
