Look at Mathew 28:19 Jesus, before He ascended, commanded that new believers were to be baptized in the NAME of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. Now notice that 'name' is singular. What is the name. It is the Lord Jesus Christ. Break that down and realize we have one Lord and Father of us all. Jesus was/is the earthly name of the Son. It literally means Jehovah s Savior. The Holy Ghost/Spirit is the 'breath' of God, the life giving force.

<19> Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ```
By the way, the term baptism infers a total immersion.
@Shadetree49 thats exactly what the trinity is supposed to mean, god in 3 forms. π
The problem with those diagrams is the same as the problem with the word Trinity. It is finite man trying to describe the infinite God. Any definition you attribute to Him has the effect of limiting Him. You're encapsulating Him in a nice neat package you can get your mind around. Think outside the box. There are no boundaries on God. Perhaps the apostle John said it best when he said that God is light and God is love.
That too sets limits. Before there was light God was there. He spoke and light came to be.
That was before He was The Father and then The Son and Then the Holy Ghost. That assumes a timeline but He created time.
Does He not have those attributes within Himself and yet He is so much more.
I must stop here. I have already, because I am finite like you, been trying to describe The Infinite God.
He gave us his Word, set down in a love letter called the Bible, written by prophets and sages moved by the Holy Spirit over thousands of years. It's all verifiable by putting it to the test. All His promises can be attained by His children through faith. The faith He places in our hearts.
As He warns us in the book of Revelation, don't add to or take away from His Word. It's all we need.
@Shadetree49 amen
@clarion1 Thank you. Trying to think at this level can (if I'm not there already) drive one crazy.
@Deb65 I'm getting used to that translation. I've been KJV for the last 50 years. KJV says comprehended rather than overcome it. It's OK since the darkness can't possibly overcome if they can't even comprehend the light.
So, another question now arises. Is it a false teaching to say that unless God reveals to you your need for Him, you will never seek Him? What about predestination? What about "Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated, before they were in their mothers womb"? Predestination is a solid scriptural doctrine, as far as I can see. Do we have a duty to present the gospel to all who will listen? Absolutely. We are to sow the seed but it is God who gives the increase.
Pray for Julian Assange and for several of the mods on this Soapbox. Satan is definitely going about like a roaring lion seeking who he may devour.
Please pray for my daughter Jessica. They are running test on her . She had a biopsy done today. Pray test results comes back normal.
X22 says Julian story may be bogus about torture. I'm sure he needs your prayers anyway.

@tjams That was interesting. I follow the Word of God, however, and I only see one NATION that He will save as a NATION. That is Israel. Among the Gentiles it is an individual affair between God and man.
Ask of Me, and I will give the nations as an inheritance to you- ASK Of Me
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit

WoW - didnt realize my good friend wrote this extremely important article about the First Decree made in our country
I just got an 800 number call saying my I-Cloud account was breached. New scam - I don't have an I-Cloud account. Beware.
@tjams The only Nation, called by name as a nation, to be saved as a nation, is Israel. The other references you mention are either calling individuals out of nations or refer to millennium events. Look again at Rev 2:26. Iy talks about the end and things thereafter.
AFK for awhile
God is into Nations - He brings nations out of individuals... the millennium works for meπ God Always Brings Beauty Out Of Ashes... of course my husband and I are Christian International Ministers so this is more our focus than perhaps other streams

Love Chuck Missler - he became very good friends with Prophet Kim Clement before he went to Glory
Don't get me wrong, I pray that all who can be saved will be saved and I believe Jesus promised that. The United States is my home and I wish to be a truly Godly nation. Jesus also told us, however that the gate is straight and the way is narrow and there are but few that find it. We must pray that all those that are His will come to a close personal relationship with Him. There are those however, who will be pulled from the very edge of the fire, their cloths still smelling of smoke.
Isaiah 54:17 - "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord."

```Dust
<17> No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, says the Lord. ```
