I agree with David…You will Baptsim in the Name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.
Hear oh Israel, the LORD your GOD is ONE.
That is why Jesus said: “I and the Father are ONE. If you have Seen Me You have Seen the Father”..and when Thomas “Knew” him by being In Touch with Him in the ‘Upper Room”..He said MY LORD MY GOD.
No one Knows the Son But The Father (Who was with HIM from before ‘The Beginning) and no one knows the Father but the Son, and they whom He Chooses to Reveal Him.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.… who is That? CHRIST. Paul specifically states so in Colossians The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross
See GENESIS 1 then Read Genesis 2. Notice on thing…The LORD GOD is never Mentioned until we Enter into Genesis 2…THE IS HE was WIth Him in THE BEGINNING..but what about ‘BEFORE THE BEGINNING? He is Hidden In God as we are Hidden in Christ. God said ‘Let there be LIGHT” ..That is “THE SON”..it is SPIRITUAL LIGHT… And He is The Light of Man…the bible often makes a grave error in my opinion of putting things as if they are ‘were’ in past tense. There is no such thing as PAST TENSE with GOD…He is ETERNAL and is Never Not Always Continuously NOW and has never been anything but NOW in regard to Time. In any case…The Holy Spirit is referenced twice in Psalms..and when Jesus was Baptized by John and the Holy Spirit descended on Him like a dove and The Father Said: “This is my Son in Whom I’m Well Pleased”…you have the “Concept’ of the Trinity right there. The ‘Trinity’ issue ..or problem is in our own minds and the way we think in ‘numerical ways’…no one ever said we have to ‘believe in the Trinity to be saved’..it is a REALITY in it’s own Right..it cannot be Known in Truth but in Truth…that is Revelation. I do see many parallels with the Gospel in the Matrix..or rather man’s dilemma..but I also agree that it is a dangerous movie in other regards..just read other peoples’ analysis.. one person wrote that we are all our OWN SAVIOR…and that the Father Son and Holy Spirit is myth..taken from Father Mother and ‘Androgynous Son’..they got that from the very dangerous person Joseph Campbell and the likes of Alan Watts.
