Why is it that the people who study the Bible come up with different answers to the question of the number of persons in the God Head?
____________________________________________

There is no verse in the Bible listing the number of persons in the Godhead ...

However Christians accept the verse...

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7

as the Trinity..

So, to you, both ideas are OK?

They describe the same God?

Yes, these 3 are one, even as the Apostles are commanded to be one.

They are also commanded to be “in Me” as Christ is “in” the Father.

How do you reconcile this?

This might help you understand our doctrine on the matter:

D&C 50: 43 And the Father and I are one. I am in the Father and the Father in me; and inasmuch as ye have received me, ye are in me and I in you.
