The doctrine of the Trinity fails remarkably in regards to the theology of the Spirit of God. It is the elephant in the room that Trinitarians refuse to acknowledge as a problem. That their theory breaks down as an explanatory model here, is a huge red flag that there are fatal problems with the triune persons concept.
In a recent post https://forums.carm.org/threads/why-im-not-a-trinitarian.13037/page-5#post-1043412 a Trinitarian stated that "this Spirit is owned by all three members of the Trinity."
Other than proof positive of a flailing explanation, it brings in non-biblical concepts and implies that the Spirit of God is an abstract, impersonal substance in which multiple members "own" or dwell or in which multiple personalities participate.
The crux of the problem is that scripturally Christ abides in the believer and the scripture speaks of the "Father in you all", and the coming of the infilling of the Holy Spirit, the Trinitarians can't explain how all three persons of the Trinity abide in the believer. They obviously can't say the believer has three Spirits in them. Nor can they say that only the Holy Spirit abides in them, they are left with non-sensical explanations like "this Spirit is owned by all three members of the Trinity".
Biblically speaking the Spirit of God is the presence of God (Psalm 139), and according to Jesus the essence of God is Spirit (John 4:24). This is ABCs of theology.
