The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is in the body of Jesus Christ, the one Lord God Almighty (Colossians 1:19, 2:8-12, John 1:14, Revelation 1:8)

According to Acts 4:12, Acts 9:5, and I Corinthians 10:4, God's highest name is Jesus Christ, who manifested Himself in three ways - The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost (Colossians 2:9).  In I Timothy 3:16,  God explains the mystery of how He changed Himself for the salvation of mankind.  God became a man to bring us back to Him (II Corinthians 5:19, John 1:10).  God's Word is synergistic, therefore, you must understand the oneness of God, how His manifestations were used  for salvation and how those manifestations can be and is the  one Lord God Almighty - Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:8).

Now, let's take a look at how God transformed Himself from the Fahter, to the Son, and back to the Holy Ghost, which was in the beginning as the Creator.

The Father (Spirit – Deity) - God is the Father in creation. God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable, in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth. He created the universe and everything in it, including the human race and all living things. The Scripture says, Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? (Malachi 2:10). In other words, why do you argue with me when I tell you there's one God who is our Father.

God is the Father of the Universe and he is also Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Isaiah 43:10-11). This is where the mystery begins because we know that God is the Father of Jesus. Some might say, how can Jesus be his own Father? (Matthew 11:26, Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42). Let me explain it this way. The Spirit of God has always had the name of Jesus Christ throughout eternity. The name is everlasting. However, the name had never been revealed to man until the birth of Jesus in the New Testament (Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:23).

When God became flesh, God made his name visible to mankind through Christ. Jesus Christ is the express image of God himself (Hebrews 1:3) The Spirit of God, Jesus Christ, begot the flesh. God named the flesh, “The Christ,” for the Christ is God Manifested as a man (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1, 10, 14). God showed himself, in his glory, in the flesh, and we have the mystery and knowledge of him. This is verified in II Corinthians 4:6. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

Therefore, the name of the Everlasting Father, the Spirit, is Jesus Christ and the name of the Son, Flesh, is Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:9, I Corinthians 10:4) Matthew 16:16).

The Son – Jesus is The Son in Redemption. It's not unusual among Bible believing scholars that the Son of God refers to the virgin birth of Christ, the Messiah. The scriptures show the miracle by which the Son became flesh. (Luke 1:31-35, John 1:14, John 6:69). Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost and was born to the Virgin Mary (Matthew 1:23). Luke 1:35 says the angel said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. The holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Jesus Christ is the Son of the Everlasting Father of Creation – God. (Luke 2:11).

Jesus Christ is the express image of God and has always been in the mind of God from the beginning of man’s existence on earth. (John 1:1, Hebrews 1:1-3). However, God had not revealed his highest name until the birth of his fleshly body. Jesus is the Son of God, the Flesh, and he is also the everlasting Father, the Spirit. (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus Christ is both flesh and Spirit. He is both, God and Man, Father and Son. In addition, Jesus Christ is also the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost - The Holy Ghost, is the indwelling Spirit of those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as both Lord and Saviour. The Holy Ghost was sent back to the apostles in the name of Jesus Christ after his ascension back into heaven (John 14:26, Galatians 2:20, 4:6). Jesus told the apostles to wait until they receive power from the Holy Ghost, which would be their comforter. That comforter will be the Spirit of Christ which is called the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. Jesus stresses that the name of the Holy Spirit, that will be sent, is Jesus Christ. (John 14:16-18). Therefore, the name of the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ.

When we address all of these manifestations of God, one realizes that all these manifestations aren’t gods or persons. Even though God has used many manifestations, God never implied that he was more than One God or more than one person. In our common understandings, we should realize that God is One God who can do all things, including manifesting himself as both a spiritual and a natural being. God can appear in any form he chooses. Why then, would someone say there are three persons in God?

The premise that there are three persons in One God is a diversion from the truth.   Three persons in one God or God in three persons is an "assumption".   God never said He was or is three persons. (Job 13:6-11, Isaiah 43:10-11, 44: 6, 8, 24).  Jesus Christ is our one and only saviour and He is our one Lord God Almighty (Revelation 1:8)
