Still not seeing that it's in the Bible that you have to believe in the Trinity as 3 Persons.
Was Jesus 3 Persons or 1 here on earth?
Ever heard of Oneness pentecostals or Messianic Jews? They don't believe in a false angel calling himself jesus. They're christian, but some don't believe the Trinity the exact same way which isn't so weird, because I bet most would say Jesus was one Person, yet when you look closer in John it's 3 Persons in one Body. He's called eternal Father, in Him the fulness of the Godhead: Trinity dwelt bodily.
But if someone believes God is one Person with 3 forms or whatever it doesn't matter for salvation. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

God exists as the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit but they are distinct persons in the one God.

I can prove at least two persons of the Trinity:

Genesis 19:24. And the Lord (YHVH) caused to rain down upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire, from the Lord (YHVH), from heaven.

Genesis 19:24 uses the divine name of God "YHVH" and the word "from" indicates two different positions. How can God be in two different places at one time?

Genesis 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Genesis 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

The Lord went down and talked with Abraham. And then The Lord on earth rained down fire from the Lord in heaven.

Dr. Walter Martin suggests you follow the scripture format listed below
to prove the Trinity.

a. The Father is God. Eph. 1:2

b. Jesus is God. John 1:1, 5:18, 20:28, Isa. 9:6, Heb. 1:16, 8, 10-12,
Rev. 1:8, Rev. 22:12,13

c. The Holy Spirit is God. Acts 5:3-4, Gen. 1:2

d. There is only One God. Deut. 6:4, John 17:3, Isa. 42-48

These four points shown in above order will help you prove the Trinity
with most people who are skeptical about this vital doctrinal issue.
(Complete Evangelism, p.164)

Those who can't apprehend this teaching wouldn't obey scripture (what God says) anyway.

In other words, if you say that Christianity is the right way and there is no other way, there are people who want to call Christians bigots for that.

I would lovingly remind them that "I" didn't say that...... Jesus did.
