Honestly, DISCERNMENT, the Gift from the Holy Spirit, was how Peter knew Ananias was lying.
Discernment is how I know when someone is lying in matters concerning God.
Not sure that makes it a Person over a Spirit?
And, if we know the Father and Son are Persons, how come we can Blaspheme them all day long and as long and still be forgiven?
If they're all Persons and Equal, they ALL should be equally unable to be Blasphemed.
So being Blasphemed doesn't make you a Person, or this reference would be Equal for all of Them.
God is Spirit means the Father, the WORD, and the Holy Spirit are all SPIRIT!

Quite the contrary, the fact that if a person blasphemes the Holy Spirit means you cannot be forgiven, even by the Lord Jesus Christ, MAGNIFIES the Holy Spirit as PERSON who is GOD at the HIGHEST Level.
Discernment is a gift - not a person - you cannot commit a Unforgivable Sin against discernment.
Peter was not lied to for Peter clearly stated "you have not lied to men but to God" - is Peter God? - No, Peter is a man.
Who was lied to???
Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit.
You can only lie to a Person, and that Person was the Holy Spirit and that Person is also God.
This is why God instructs us to know Him by His Eternal Name in Three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
