[size=x-large]The Holy Spirit[/size]
If God can be 'one,' with the two Persons of the Father and the Son, adding a third Person to the Godhead should not particularly add more difficulty. We are talking here about the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:2. What does this tell us about the role of the Holy Spirit, who appears so early in the biblical record?
Genesis 1:2 New King James Version
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
How does Matthew 28:19 draw attention to the three members of the Godhead?
Matthew 28:19
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Three Persons of the Godhead are mentioned when Jesus instructs how new believers are to be baptized. Indeed, this baptismal 'formula' is still used in most Christian baptisms today. The person who has chosen to follow Jesus is baptized into the 'Name' (singular, not plural, in the Greek), though three Persons are included. Three Divine Beings are viewed as One.
At the baptism of Jesus, all three Persons of the Trinity appear together. Read Mark
