Best Answer

Holy Ghost was used in the older English during King James' time (1611 and before and after)

but don't worry, the word Spirit and Ghost in English both mean "pneuma" in Greek

G4151 is used if you wish to research it

Both have the same meaning just different words.

It is like the word dragon in the 1611-1841 King James version of The Bible. The word dragon was used to mean "dinosaur" or "monster" or different types of beasts.

but dinosaur was only created in 1841, then people started saying dinosaur.

same meaning again unless stated otherwise.

hope I helped you and others.
