- He’s not holy simply because he’s pure and sinless—that’s obvious by his membership in the holy Godhead alongside Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

The Holy Ghost is a sanctifier (see Alma 13:12; 3 Nephi 27:20; 1 Peter 1:2). The Holy Ghost seals upon worthy individuals the promises of God (see D&C 132:7; 76:53; 88:3). The Holy Ghost conveys the gifts of the Spirit to the children of God (see 1 Corinthians 12:1–11; Moroni 10:9–17; D&C 46:13–26).
According to Mormonism, the Holy Ghost is a child of God from the preexistence who does not have a body of flesh and bones, as do Heavenly Father and Jesus. He is the third member of the Godhead who is sometimes described as the Holy Spirit and other times described as distinct from the Holy Spirit. The Encyclopedia of Mormonism explains:
The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. He is a personage of spirit, without a body of flesh and bones. He is often referred to as the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Lord, or the Comforter.
Mormons believe that both God the Father and Jesus Christ have perfect, resurrected bodies of flesh and bone, glorious beyond description. However, the Holy Ghost is a personnage of spirit. It is the Holy Ghost who can dwell within us as a testator and comforter.
Mormonism teaches that the Holy Ghost, also known as the Holy Spirit or Spirit, is the third member of the Godhead. The Holy Ghost is a spirit, and does not have a body of flesh and bones like God the Father and Jesus Christ do.
