Then it is not heresy to say that God is not 1 person in 3 forms, as nontrinitarianism is arguably based on the Bible. The creeds are based on scripture? So is nontrinitarianism.

This is not trinity. Trinity is the belief that there is one person that can present itself in 3 forms - The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. It is the idea that they are not seperate intelligences. Gen 1:26 supports the LDS position on the Godhead (which is a non-trinitarian position) that God is 3 persons, but it is one God as the Son and the Holy Ghost do the will of the Father.

God is not a car He is a Spirit; God can manafest Himself however and whenever He desires; but He is one. Can a car do that? |

When does the Trinity ever deny that? |

The doctrine of the Trinity does not teach that there is One God made up of three parts.
This is Modalism, or Sabellianism. |

Trinity - Three divine persons with the same intelligence/mind/spirit - exactly the same except the way they appear or manifest themselves. Exactly equal, because they think the same thing at the same time, have the same experience and knowledge and feeling/emotion. But they still decide to talk to each other, and confuse people by showing themselves, all three at the same time in different ways, as if they were not the same. The way they manifest themselves decides what they are referred to as. Am I right?
