Surprised how many on here tout modalism. Allow me to share how the scriptures clearly present the doctrine of the trinity: The trinity is a doctrine that comes from an understanding of the full revelation of scripture, both Old and New Testament. We recognise that God is one (Deut 6:4) But we also see that scripture attributes divinity to three persons equally. (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) Matt 28:19 says to baptise in the name (singular) of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost (plural). John 1:1-3 tells us that Jesus was there from the beginning with God and also is in fact God. Combining this with Isaiah 44:24 where we see it says of God that he was alone at creation ‘who was with me?’ means that Jesus must also be God (otherwise these passages would contradict). Jesus himself said that ‘all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father’. There is a clear distinction between the Son and the Father, and yet to honour them the same means that they must both be God. (Philippians 2:6-7 further emphasises equality). The unity and distinction is made clear again in 1 Cor 8:6 stating that there is one God, the Father… and one Lord Jesus Christ. We see also in Colossians 2:9 that in Jesus dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and yet there is a distinction between he and the Father in the fact that they are able to communicate with one another – have a relationship with each other. (As Jesus prays to the Father). We also see that the Holy Spirit is it’s own personal entity and yet fully God in Acts 5:3-4. Ananias is accused of lying to the Holy Ghost, as if the Holy Ghost is a person. It then goes on to say that he has not lied unto men but unto God. This confirms that the Holy Ghost is God (Or at least according to Peter. John 14:26 and Ephesians 4:30 are other good passages to see the personal nature of the Holy Ghost.
