Do you believe in three gods or one? Is Jesus human or divine? How many natures does he have? Is the Holy Spirit a person?

The term "Trinity" encompasses a greater set of understanding than just a list of names. Do you affirm what orthodox Christianity has meant by "Trinity" or not?

**Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
(Matthew 28:19 KJV)**

Note: "....in the name...." (singular).

Jesus said: "I am come in my Father's NAME,.." John 5:43
I think it's more than obvious what the NAME of the Son is.
Jesus said: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my NAME,.." John 14:26

That's why Peter and the rest of the apostles didn't repeat a command, they obeyed it, baptizing in the name of Jesus, all through the book of Acts.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12

Faith in God requires faith in what he says, which requires acting upon it.

Believing in Jesus is more than of his existance, it is also his words (example: "ye must be born again") There is no way to separate him from his words.

Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith........
