The Godhead

We believe that there is only one true God (Deut. 6:4Open Link in New Window; Isa. 45:21-22Open Link in New Window); eternally existing (Exod. 3:14; Jer. 10:10Open Link in New Window) in three persons of one substance, power, and eternity (Matt. 28:19Open Link in New Window; II Cor. 13:14Open Link in New Window): Father (John 4:23-24Open Link in New Window), Son (John 1:1-14Open Link in New Window; Rom. 9:5Open Link in New Window), and Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-4Open Link in New Window). These three are the same in essence though distinct in personality, responsibility, and function, equal in every divine perfection and attribute (Phil. 2:6Open Link in New Window; Heb. 9:14Open Link in New Window), and working harmoniously to accomplish the manifold acts and purposes of God (John 14:26, 15Open Link in New Window:26, 17:3).
