There are 3 members of the Godhead if you want to think they are one blob find...
I take it literal that the language talks about a father, a son, an a Ghost!
The Father says this is my beloved Son, Hear him
The Son pleads with his Father in Heaven take this cup from me, thy will be done!
I do the work of my Father or I can do nothing but what my Father has shown me etc.
We are witnessing one on one conversations here between the Jesus and his Father!
you can't have it both ways
If you are tell freepers of the things your father taught you are you going to tell us he is a Ghost?
If your father begat you than how come when Heavenly Father tells us His only Begotten and way back when the Lord preisthood no longer on the earth some political Clergy of Constantine in a debate amoung others decide the nature of the Godhead*** and you give that more creedence than that which the words in the scriptures witness too!
***(that was a worldly decision BTW if the scriptures are all intact is so many like to claim why was there this need after 325 AD to still wonder about the nature of the Godhead? I am sure Jesus had that in the Church handbook as well as Paul had a copy!)
The members of the Godhead I believe in are not schizo!

No doubt most Bible believers attest to the 3 persons of the Godhead. I think I need a bit more information to understand your definition of "3 members".
The Bible is very explicit that there is only one God. I would have to print a veritable book in order to reference all the instances in the Bible that indicate but one God. The 3 persons of this Godhead must be such that their essence is still one.
This characteristic of God is one that many have struggled over throughout history and our full understanding of this will not be complete until after our dying breath. Suffice it to say that Christ knew what he was talking about when he made the following statement:
John 5 (NKJV)
26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,
27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
29 and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
Thank you for your clarification of that fact. I had two mormon missionaries try to tell me that they worshipped the same God that I did. You have succeeded to clarifying to me that they don't. Thanks again.
