In Matthew 28:19, the disciples are commanded to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The work of Jesus and the work of the Spirit are often bound together (John 14:25-26, 15:26-27, Acts 16:6-7, and Galatians 4:6). God has interacted with the created order in Jesus Christ and through the ongoing presence of the Spirit. We worship our Lord through Christ and with the help of the Holy Spirit.

He worshipped the Father, so follow his lead. There is not an equality among the God-head as we might be led to believe. The Spirit always points to Jesus, who sent the Spirit. Jesus always points to the Father, who sent Jesus. Pray by the Spirit, through Jesus, to the Father.

the trinity is a concept that developed after Jesus. It was largely influenced by Greek and Roman methology. Hence early christianity created the 'god man'. The early followers of Jesus were jews and believed as the jews do, that God was one, no trinity.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, Believe also in me.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
John 16:7b&8 for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment.
John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said "Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
When Jesus was explaining that He would be leaving this earth, He said He would send someone that would comfort us and strengthen us teach us, and intercede for us.

like much of the bible it is interpretive in places and outright spoken in others. no where in the Bible is the term "Holy Trinity" used that I'm aware of. there are differences in verbs and usage adverbs nouns too. God is the Father, most think He created the world as told in Genesis but read it carefully Jesus is the One who created all. Jesus was the pillar of fire in the desert w/moses, who also fed them. Jesus agreed to die on the cross, He is God. most know Jesus didn't come upon the virgin Mary but they believe God the Father did. the Holy Ghost did, & God the Father calls Jesus Son, and acknowledges Him as God Creator. it is a Holy Trinity, like chapter & verse terms like rapture, holy rapture, even religion are man made. no one wrote chapter and verse in bliblical times. they were eye witness testiments and letters to the church. the body of believers, being the church not the place they have car washes and fish frys ;o)

Jesus came to make God known. True worship is Love.
John 17:26 (New King James Version)
26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
Through the Gift of the Holy Spirit, this is a Reality.

They are all the same god, so yes he said worship the trinity, 1 John 5:7 (KJV)
1 John 5:7 (King James Version)
7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

If you believe in Jesus, and believe that God sent his Son to die in the cross for your sins, then you believe the whole bible, so if you are a believer you have to worship God.

I'm not a Christian, but I was raised around a lot of Christianity and was dragged to Sunday school. I think they would say when you refer to god you refer to the trinity, so he meant both. Religious people can always make their beliefs "true" because they can play around with the semantics any way they want.
