The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS, the Mormons) believe that they are three distinct personages, acting in accord towards a common goal.
Consider the story of Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist, as Jesus emerges from the waters, a Dove depends from Heaven and a voice calls out "Behold, this is my Son, in whom I am well pleased". The Dove representing the Holy Ghost, the voice being that of God. It wasn't just Jesus saying "Yay Me".
Thanks

First of all, it was A dove. The Spirit descended like a dove. Not like a lightening bolt.
Some folks use the chicken egg for a teaching point of the trinity; referring to the shell, albumen, and yolk. It’s actually a good example of singularity, not a trinity. There is one life that’s in there, and it’s using the rest of the egg (until it doesn’t need the other parts) to keep on living.
How about a TV? A machine able provide audio and video. Unplug it, and it’s just a big paper weight. There is one source of power,..grab the right wire (and be grounded), and ‘zap’.
The Father is the source. He’s IN the Son, without measure, as the Holy Ghost.
Peter told Cornelius household: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good...healing...for God was with him...Him God raised up...it is he that was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.” Acts 10:38-43
First of all, it was AS a dove. The Spirit descended like a dove. Not like a lightening bolt.
