The Trinity

From The King James Bible
Scripture reveals one God eternally existing in three co-equal, co-eternal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While the word 'trinity' does not appear, the doctrine is built from passages affirming both God's oneness and the full deity of Father, Son, and Spirit.
Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Baptizing 'in the name [singular] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost' — classic trinitarian formula.
