Ben,
I don't know, but equating the Holy Ghost with the Church was definitly not part of my religious upbringing as a Presbyterian. The Holy Ghost was described more like what Vincent describes above but not nearly as active. I recall struggling during my confimation with the idea of the Holy Ghost, and tried to equate it with an individual's conscience. I was told that this is incorrect because one's conscience is not divine and can be wrong. It was also one of my early memories of an adult struggling to explain an abstract concept to me.
