There are two major heresies about the Trinity all Christians must vigorously oppose. One distortion claims that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are merely different manifestations of God assumed temporarily to achieve a specific purpose. Let me be clear about this, the Holy Trinity consists of three distinct Persons who have always existed independently and always will. The Trinity consists of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit which is sometimes referred to as the Holy Ghost.
The next heretical point of view is that the Trinity has been divided or separated and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are not co-equal with God and are therefore a lower level of deity. There is only one God. God is a unity consisting of three Persons with one essence, personality and will. The Persons of the Trinity never act independently or in opposition to one another. They are of one mind and they are all God, co-equal and co-eternal.
Our Triune God is not only the Creator of the universe He is also the Sustainer of His creation and the moral Governor of the intelligent beings He has created. God’s Word makes it abundantly clear that God’s providence and sovereignty is complete and comprehensive as expressed in the following Scriptures:
Psalm 135:6 – Whatever the Lord pleases He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places.
Colossians 1:17 – And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Ephesians 1:11 – In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.
Acts 4:28 – To do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
