The Spirit is said to proceed from which two persons of the Trinity?

• A. Father
• B. Son
• C. Father and Son
• D. God

Answer: (C)

The Spirit’s origin within the Trinity is described as coming from both the Father and the Son. This reflects the shared life of the Triune God and the way the Spirit is sent into the world through Christ, embodying the unity of Father and Son in the Spirit’s mission to believers.

This is the best choice because it captures the Spirit as deriving from both persons, not just one alone or from a vague source. If the Spirit were said to proceed from only the Father, the Son’s role would be minimized; if from the Son alone, the Father’s role would be diminished. Saying simply from God is too vague to specify the personal origin. Thus, Father and Son together express the Spirit’s proper procession within the Trinity.
