"What We Believe"
the Godhead
We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections.
Supporting Scripture
Commentary
That there is one God is established by Deuteronomy 6:4, "Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God; Yahweh is one." That God is triune, existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is established by 2 Corinthians 13:14, which mentions all three persons in such a manner as to make it clear that they are three distinct persons, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen."
Note that "What We Believe" asserts that God is "eternally existing" and that the three persons of God are "co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections"; however, it offers no scripture to support these assertions and does not elaborate on what these "attributes and perfections" are. We will examine these issues in a future post.
