You believe in the Godhead, why did Christ say in Matthew 28:19 to baptizer in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? Why is it that when Christ was baptized, you had Jesus the Son submitting to the will of the Father who spoke from heaven, and the Spirit descended on Jesus as a dove.
What about the Scriptures that speak about Christ being at the right hand of God.
Also there are different words used in the OT Elohim, Yahweh, Adoni, Jehovah. These carrying different meanings and numarical values at times.
Deut. 6:4
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!"
The Lord (Jehovah singular) Our God (Elohim plural) is one God (Jehovah singular).
John 1:1
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
Jesus said I and the Father are one.
Read John 17, Why would Christ pray to be gloried back with the Father. Also, in there are not different parts to the Godhead, then who is Christ praying to? Himself? They are one because they are the same in character, and action. What one would do the other would do, they have the same goal and out come in mind. It is the same idea that Paul used in 1 Corinthians 3:6-8. Verse 9 particularly says that he who plants and he who waters are one, but in verse 6 it is 2 different people. Why are they one, because they are in unity with one another, just as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one, because they are in ultimate unity with one another. Not three Gods, but three distinct personages that make up the one God.
Think of it like a triangle, a triangle has three legs, but take one away it is no longer a triangle.
God has three sides in your would, take one away and He is not God.

So what is the Name of the Son, who said that he came in his Fathers name? If you have read the scriptures as to what the Apostles really believed, then its apparent that Peter the spokesman said... Repent and be baptize EVERYONE of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Yes Peter understood what Jesus meant in Matt. 28:19.
Phillip when preaching to the Samaritans, taught baptism in Jesus name, for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, only they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus, please read the 8th chapter of Acts.
Again Peter in Acts chapter 10 preached the word to them that heard, and we learn that the holy ghost fell on them and they spoke in tongues. Peter did not ask them to be baptize, he commanded them to be baptize in name of Jesus.
Paul taught baptism in Jesus name, read Acts 19 for yourself... Yes the Apostle understood the words of Jesus quite well and were in perfect obedience.
Anyone who does not believe (Obey) and is not baptized according to jesus and his holy Apostles, denies the truth of God.
The right hand is symbolic with an Hebrew inflection meaning all power and authority. How can Jesus claim all power, only the one true God has all power. There is no trinity, you can not find this word in the gospels or any portion of the Holy Writ. God is not in three Persons, that is not taught in the bible nor can it be proven that this verbage ever was used by the Prophets or our Lord Jesus Christ and holy Apostles. The verbage God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost can not be found in scripture.
Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Tit. 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Rev. 1:8 " I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Its impossible that there be two or three Almighties, there is only one Lord Jesus who is the image of the invisble God
