Have you ever had a conversation with someone, and they just don’t seem to understand the terms you’re using or you don’t understand theirs? A classic example of this is in the brilliant classic comedy skit by Abbott and Costello, Who’s on First.
With Cults, one of the methods they use is to redefine terms to suit their beliefs. Let’s use the Mormon’s Mormon Article of Faith to to demonstrate this. It reads: “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.”
To the average Christian, this seems to describe the Biblical Trinity pretty well. After all, we believe in the nature of the one true God (Isa. 44:6) there are three distinct Persons: the Father (Gal. 1:1), the Son (Heb. 1:8), and the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3,4).
But, to the Mormon, “God the Eternal Father” means something very different. They have redefined the terms to match what they teach. They believe the Father (Elohim), the Son(Jesus), and the Holy Ghost are three separate gods.
The god the Mormons call the Father or Elohim is an exalted man who was just like you or I, but over time, he was able to rise to the point of godhood and became god over the planet earth. All male Mormons seek to attain godhood just like Elohim. So, the Mormon definition of “Father” is not quite what the Bible teaches. To the Jehovah’s Witnesses, “God the Eternal Father” is the only Person of the godhead.
His Son, Jesus Christ to the Mormon means a spirit child born to Elohim, who preexisted then became truly the physical offspring from sexual relations between God the Father – an exalted man remember – and the Virgin Mary. The Mormons don’t believe Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit as the Bible teaches (Luke 1:35).
To Jehovah’s Witnesses, “His Son, Jesus Christ” is also redefined. The son to them is the first and greatest creation of God the Father. The son was the creator of all other things as Michael the archangel. Then the Father destroyed him, took his essence and placed it in Mary’s womb. As a result, Jesus was born as a perfect man but only as a man. At the crucifixion, Jesus died and ceased to exist for three days. On the third day Jesus was recreated as Michael the Archangel as God the Father remembered him and now sits as a secondary being to God the Father.
Holy Ghost to Mormons means a personage of spirit, a third god of the godhead. To the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Holy Spirit is nothing more than God’s active force, not a Person at all but God’s power.
Even the word “Trinity” is redefined in Mormonism as three Gods one in purpose. They deny the Christian/biblical definition as do the Jehovah’s Witnesses who deny the Trinity is a biblical doctrine at all.
Why is this important?
So, we can see how something which sounds like what we believe can mean something very different. When we talk with cultists or anyone who disagrees with our beliefs, it is extremely important to make sure we agree on terms and definitions. As with Abbot and Costello, non-agreement on terms can lead to deep confusion and misunderstandings.
Believers Armed and Dangerous 
Indeed trinity doctrine is biblical doctrine, though in a twofold: the consistent trinity against, the inconsistent trinity easily compromised by the Evil spirit. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, this holy trinity is very inconsistent in that these three are not one, why? Simple! This holy trinity is in a two states of life_ image~body. The Father the image (Holy Ghost), the Son the body Son of God who is not the Father (Holy Spirit) and the Holy Ghost the image who is the Son of God who is also the Father (THE HOLY GHOST) and these three are image and the body, Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit, which are by far not even synonyms as been suggested by our learned. However, the consistent holy trinity carries the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost. And therefore these three are one image the Holy Ghost: the Father the Holy Ghost, the Word the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost the Son of God who is also the Father. It’s very impossible for the Evil one to transform himself into the Holy Ghost VERY IMPOSSIBLE.

Hi Angel,
I think you have some terms confused just as the post was describing. From what you’ve written, is seems you think the Holy Ghost is a name for the triune God, and the Holy Spirit is one of the three Persons of the triund God. The two terms are identical in the original languages. Some translations translate “Ruah” in Hebrew and “Pneuma” in Greek are the same word. The KJV, for instance, translates these words as “Ghost” while most modern translations translate them as “Spirit.”
I’m not sure how you think the bibilcal doctrine of the trinity is “twofold.” Your explanation isn’t clear. It looks like you have a problem seeing how a single being can be more than one person. Think of a human with multiple personalities. That is one human with more than one person. The persons are distinct just as the Persons are in the Trinity. It’s a mental illness in humans but the norm for our Triune God.
So, I think your reasoning is invalid. You might think it over.
