Pre-existing in the Mind of God...
Now we are well beyond my "Peter Principle" capabilities, but I can refer you for in-depth scholarly analysis on this question, and related questions, to one of my own sources: The Doctrine of the Trinity.
I take it as not necessarily authoritative, but representative of views of Christians otherwise described as "Unitarian" or "restorationists".
Since those included some of our Founding Fathers and about 50 million believers today, I am here asking they be treated with all due respect, as something better than "God Damned Heretics".

***You do not deserve such respect because Jesus Himself condemns false teachers as ‘sons of the devil’, which is not better than calling you a God damned heretic. If Jesus Himself won’t treat you with such respect, asking for it from others is asking more than one would ask from the God of the Universe clad in human flesh. What you’re spreading is a damnable heresy, not deserving any respect beyond the respect one would give to a snake that could cause harm.
