Though we humans (created in God's image) have body, soul and spirit we are not each "three separate persons".
Though Jesus (Jehovah Saviour) manifested Himself as "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" he is not "three separate persons".
Please prayerfully consider these points and their supporting scripture.
1) God is a Spirit.
John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
2) God is holy. (and there is NONE beside Him)
I Samuel 2:2 [There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.
3) God is a "Holy Spirit". (see 1 and 2 for review)
4) Jesus is the "Spirit of truth"
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
5) Jesus, the Spirit of Truth was "dwelling with them" and promised to be "in them".
John 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
6) The "comforter" is the "Spirit of Christ"
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
7) The "Spirit of Christ" is the "Holy Spirit" is the "Spirit of Truth"
John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
8) The Spirit of God visited His creation robed in flesh as the "Son".
I Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
9) The fullness of God is in Jesus Christ
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
10) Jesus IS the "everlasting Father".
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
11) Those who believe that Jesus is a "separate person" from the "Father" don't really know Jesus at all.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
Believing on the Lord includes obedience to HIS plan of salvation.
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
If anyone really believed the Apostles they obeyed Acts 2:38.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and
ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to
all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Baptism in Jesus name is for the purpose of the remission of sins.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Anyone who has not been baptised in Jesus name is still in their sins.
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Trinitarians do not believe that Jesus is "I AM", so they reject
Jesus Name baptism and die in their sins.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily , verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
NO ONE has received Christ without obeying his Word. That doesn't even make sense.
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
The trinitarians and others that refuse to obey have another end.
2 Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2 Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from
the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
A true preacher teaches the importance of obedience to the Word of God...A false preacher's job is to convince the lost that they are saved, even in disobedience. It is the way of the false preacher to convince the people that God's commandments are just helpful suggestions, but have no bearing on salvation.
2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into
an angel of light.
2 Cor 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also
be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall
be according to their works.
2 Cor 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also
be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall
be according to their works.
But with many in denominal cults, their blood is on their own hands
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;
2 Tim 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and
shall be turned unto fables.
