Note the text of 1 Cor 12:4-6 is written in parallelism:
- There are different gifts, but the same Spirit.
- There are different ministries, but the same Lord.
- There are different ways of working, but the same God works all things in all people.
In a previous answer and question it was asked whether the triplet refers to the Trinity or not. It received some heated answers. Is Paul referring to the Trinity in 1 Corinthians 12:4-6?
If, for the sake of this question we accept that this triplet is NOT discussing the Trinity (as some assert in the linked Q), is it effectively saying that the Holy Spirit is "Lord" and "God"? If not, does this leave only the possibility that it is discussing the Trinity?
That is, is it possible to make a cogent case one way or the other?
