Important Observation:

The Apostle Paul is called the apostle to the Gentiles as this was his special calling. The more pertinent question to me seems to be why would Paul, in each of his opening verses of the Epistles (Letters) attributed to him, never mention the Holy Spirit or anything even approaching a third person Godhead commonly referred to as the 'trinity?'. Not once does Paul's greetings link the Holy Spirit with the Father and Christ as a separate and distinct personality. Isn't this a bit strange to believers whose central or core belief states a trinity?

The question then is would Paul ever dishonor or neglect the Person of God? IMO, it is highly improbable when reflecting upon Scripture. Yet, all can read each opening greeting and take note that Paul did not address the Holy Spirit vital to 'Christian life' as a person like Jesus or the Father. Each must draw their own opinion as this is just food for thought.
