Acts 7:55,56 reports that Stephen was given a vision of heaven in which he saw Jesus standing at God's right hand side but made no mention of the Holy Spirit.
Looks like two different people to me.
Matt.26:39, Jesus fell and prayed, asking My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as THOU will.
Looks like two different people to me. Jesus' prayer would have been meaningless if he had of been praying to himself.
Col. 1;15,16 Jesus is the image of the invisible God, THE FIRST BORN OF ALL CREATION.
Looks like two different people to me. God created Jesus all alone, but Jesus helped God create all other things.
John 8:17,18
Mark 13:32--Good one
Matt.12:31,32-Blasphemy against Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, but every word against the son will be forgiven. I thought they were a three Godhead? If the Holy Spirit were a person and were God, this would flatly contradict the Trinity doctrine, because it would mean that in someway the Holy Spirit was greater than the Son
John 14:28
1Cor.11:3
1Cor.15:27,28
1Cor.8:5,6
Sounds like two different people to me.

Jesus and God are Father and Son, and two distinct and seperate persons! TheBible says in John8:29 Jesus here is speaking about God saying:"And he that sent me is with me; The Father hath not left me alone, for I do always the things that please him." And what about 1John4:12 which says:"No man hath seen God at any time..." if this is true how can Jesus be God, since there havee been crowds who have seen Jesus? 1John2:17 says that the one who does the will of God remains forever. it does not say the one that does the will of Jesus which it should if he were God but even he himself does not say that he is God he teaches that he was sent by God.If He was god he would not send himself would he?The Encyclopedia of Religion says: "Theologians agree that the New Testament also does not contain any explicit doctrine of the trinity."
Nowhere do we find any doctrine of three distinct subjects of divine activity in the same Godhead.
THE text, at John 10:30, is often cited to support the Trinity, even though no third person is mentioned there. But Jesus himself showed what he meant by his being "one" with the Father. At John 17:21, 22, he prayed to God that his disciples "may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, . . . that they may be one just as we are one." Was Jesus praying that all his disciples would become a single entity? No, obviously Jesus was praying that they would be united in thought and purpose, as he and God were.—See also 1 Corinthians 1:10. And in Mark13:32 it says that not even Jesus knows when the day or hour of the end of this wicked system would be but only the Father(God)knows so if Jesus was God then he would know because it says that God knows but Jesus does not that show that God and Jesus are 2 seperate and distinct persons!

Will these help?
John 20:17 - Jesus said he was going to their God and to his God - how can Jesus be God if he has a God?
John 14:28 - Jesus said that "the Father is greater than I am"
Colossians 1:15 - Jesus is called the firstborn of all creation.
1 Corinthians 11:3 - the head of the woman is the man, the head of Christ is God
1 Timothy 2:5 - There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man, Jesus Christ
John 17:3 - "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of Jesus Christ, whom you sent forth." (NWT)

Matt. 26:39
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
Her we see that Jesus and the Father each have their own seperate will. Jesus, the Son, always submitted His will to the will of the Father.
In order for Jesus, the Son, and God,the Father, to have distinct wills, they must be distinct persons.
Of course there are numerous scriptures that speak of Jesus' divinity.
Therefore, Jesus is God; The Father is God; yet the Son is not the Father although they are both God.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Uhm... Jesus is God.
John says He was divine or God (John 1:1), as did Thomas (John 20:28). Paul says He is the “very form of God” (morphe – theou; Phil 2:6) as well as our great God and Savior (Titus 2:13). He is referred to as Lord (Matt 2:43-45), Yahweh (cf. Rom 10:9, 13 and Joel 2:32) as well as the King of Kings (a designation a Jew such as John would only give God himself – Rev. 19:16). He does the works of God, including creating (John 1:3; Col. 1:15-20), sustaining (Heb 1:3-4), saving (Matt 1:23), raising the dead (John 5:25); judging (John 5:27), sending the Spirit (a work assigned to the Father as well; see John 14:26; 15:26), and building His church (Matt 16:18). He accepts, as God Himself does, worship from all men (Matt 14:33) and angels (Heb 1:6) and some day all men will bow to Him (something only God accepts; Phil 2:10, Isa 45:23).

Study these references and you will find your answer. Jesus, Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost are all refered to as God.
John 17:20-23 (this one is my favorite)
Matt 3:16-17
Matt 26:39
Mark 1:10-11
Luke 3:22
John 20:17
Acts 7:55
The St John 17:20-22 explains EXACTLY how they are one.
Is Jesus praying to himself?
"That they may be one, even as we are one:"
Doesn't that mean that Jesus wants the people to be one in the same way Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are one?
You may ask, how are they one?
I believe they are one in purpose, love, and charity.
The "God" in genesis actually means the same thing as "Gods" and there is evidence that is should have been translated "Gods".

Go to one of the four gospels that describes Jesus' baptism and there you will find Jesus coming up from out of the water, the voice of God the Father speaking from the heavens and also the dove that lands on His head which was the Holy Spirit. There you have the three members of the God Head. Each is separate there at Christ's baptism but they are all one as in a number of versus they are spoken of in the singular pronoun, I.

Jesus is the Person of God who came to earth and lived as a Man. But God also has two other Persons--the Father and the Holy Spirit. They are three sides of the same Being, the same God. It sounds confusing, I know, but Almighty God is not to be fully understood or quantified by our little human minds.

God and Jesus are the same "I and the Father are one" John 1
Also from John 17: 5 "And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began"
from John 20: 26"A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." "
These are just a few. There are many more because this has been studied and confirmed by thousands of Biblical Scholars and they all agree on this. Billions of people alive today and billions who have gone on before us believe this.
