I can't find that Jesus ever claimed to be the One God nor do I believe it is necessary to accept the "developed" belief in the Trinity for our salvation.

I've always felt that Jesus did just that in John 8:58 when he invoked the name of God. I believe the Jews understood precisely what he was saying as they took up stones to kill him for what they percieved to be blasphemy

John 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am.
59  Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

I agree it is a very powerful Christian argument and I have no objection towards those who believe it. There are contra arguments however.

See here for one example.
