I invoke all three when I begin praying and when I am finished. I look at it this way, (but remember, I was raised Catholic and the nuns, all throughout my 12 years of Catholic schooling preached this to me daily)....God is the Father of Jesus, us human beings and all creatures on the good green earth....Jesus Christ is the son of God and Mother Mary, and the Holy Ghost is an entity that is unseen but part of God, Jesus and even Mother Mary. The Holy Spirit is responsible for all visible and unbelieveable miracles and our closest connection to God and Jesus, as I personally feel the Holy Spirit spends an awful lot of him around us mortals on earth. I invoke Mother Mary when praying to her individually, and there are also times that I invoke God, Jesus and even the Holy Spirit individually. I believe in the power of prayer, and also feel prayer is very private & personal. Good luck & God bless you!

the belief in the Trinity goes against all of the teachings of Jesus, as well as the Bible. This is because the Trinity is a man-made doctrine that was drawn up several hundred years after Jesus. In this time period different interpretations of the Bible were causing serious debates among Christians. The various interpretations were, undoubtedly, due to human perversion of the original scriptures, poor preservation, and/or shoddy translations. One of the main things being questioned was the nature of God and Jesus. Was Jesus actually God, the son of God, or just a messenger? The Council of Nicea was formed in an attempt to settle this dispute, and the Nicea Creed (the Trinitarian doctrine) was subsequently hammered out.

Here's a question I posted on that subject:
So, we have God the father, God the son and God the holy ghost. All the 1 person right? Now mary was made pregnant by the holy ghost ( the father and the son) and she gave birth to the son ( the father and the ghost). So, Jesus was his own father and Mary was knocked up by her unborn son? Have I got that right? Must be fun at Xmas dinner at their house.

I'm LDS. We don;t believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one substance. We pray to the Father "in the name of Jesus Christ". Because that's what Jesus told us to do.

You just pray...You don't need to pray three different prayers, because there is 3 different forms in God but it is only one God! It is quite confusing but its through..
Read the bible more often and you will understand..
May God bless you always

You pray to God the Father always. God the Spirit is in you who guides you like your conscience. Jesus was the incarnation (God with flesh on) of the Father. He came to earth to show us how to live. Since the humans made a mess of the rules based religion.

Jesus prayed to His Father; Our Father who art in heaven.....
I pray to God in the name of Jesus because He said "if you ask anything in my name it will be given to you." I ask for the Holy Spirit to come and fall on me. The Spirit of God comforts me, teaches me, and empowers me.
As I have drawn nearer to God and began to hear His voice there are times when I recognize God's voice....the voice of Jesus....and the voice of the Holy Spirit. I think this is spiritual sensitivity that develops over time spent with God.
They are one. If I say Spirit of the Living God fall afresh on us, I am acknowledging that they are one. Jesus said "I and the Father are one." Jesus prayed that" we all may be one as He and the Father are one". The unity He prayed for is unity in the Spirit.
Jesus said, I will send the Spirit to comfort and guide you and empower you. The Father is God. Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is God's Spirit. This is a thing that is not necessary to define because I will understand when I see Him. Doctrine is trying to "set in stone" things that we do not clearly understand yet. It is wrong to force doctrine on other people. Salvation is not dependent on doctrine but on a relationship with God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

definite, they're separate persons (persons), yet one essence (substance). In a nutshell, it rather is the doctrine of the Trinity, as stated interior the Nicene Creed/Apostle's Creed. this variety of doctrine advance into had to silence the numerous heretical communities that preached erroneous issues approximately Jesus Christ, or approximately God or the Holy Spirit. those are the nicely-enjoyed Gnostic heresies of the early Church. They nonetheless rear their grotesque heads as we communicate in usual media, video clips like the Da Vinci code, and so on. on an identical time as the Bible does not explicitly state the notice Trinity, nor clarify it, the three in one nature of God must be accrued from the numerous possible contradictory statements that call for this variety of explanation with a view to make all of them genuine: Take as an occasion, "The Spirit is the Lord...", "i'll deliver you yet another comforter...", "I and the daddy are One...", "i myself decide no person...", "all potential has been given to me in heaven and in earth..." The record may be vast if it have been finished. As in lots of the mysteries of the Bible, we do no longer likely have the skill to thoroughly comprehend their certainty, yet we are in a position to comprehend sufficient to reject the fake theory. as an occasion, we don't comprehend how God created each little thing, yet all of us comprehend that unintentional evolution is fake. it rather is like that with the Trinity. we gained't rather ever comprehend it. it rather is certainty is ultimate revealed by potential of comparing it with yet another selection, and then seeing if the different one holds up. as an occasion-- take the assertion, "Jesus isn't God, purely the Son of God." does not delay. To be the Son of God makes you merely as lots God as God. The Jews understood this, that's why they accused Jesus of blasphemy for claiming to be the son of God. "The Holy Spirit is an impersonal rigidity, no longer God." Than why might blasphemy against it rather is an unforgivable sin? How do we take words like spirit of the Lord, spirit of Christ, spirit of God? What do they actually recommend? Mysteries of God. "it rather is the dignity of kings to locate them out." (Proverbs 25:2)

...Jesus said..you must pray this way...
"Our Father"....Matthew 9:6
'No one comes to the Father, except through me,'...Jesus said; John 14:6.
So, all prayers should end with Jesus.
