Trinitarian Verses?
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness. . ."
Here we find that God was talking to somebody, but not necessarily
to more than one person. Who was He talking to?
After the earth was created, and the beasts upon it, the
Father and Son carried out their purpose, which was designed
before the fall of Satan, to make man in their own image. They had
wrought together in the creation of the earth and every living thing
upon it. And now God said to His Son, Let us make man
in our image. The Story of Redemption, p. 20-21.
Notice, there was no third Person there.
Matthew 28:19 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.
(See The
Great Commission text.)
Matthew 3:16,17 And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately
from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit
of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice
from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well
pleased."

to the question: How many Beings were present at Christ's baptism?)
2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and
the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
In this verse, three powers are mentioned, but notice, only one of
them is called God. One is the Lord, and the other is the Holy Ghost
(spirit) through which we have communion or fellowship with God and
Jesus. A little later we will see how other Bible passages explain
this one very clearly.
(KJV) 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in
heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are
one.
(See: Is
1 John 5:7 Trinitarian?)

is the third person?" by David Clayton.
