Is God three separate entities ?
God the father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
All three were in separate forms at the same time – Jesus, the Dove and the Lord whom Jesus was speaking to.
If so, then this concept is clearly a Trinity and a Trinity cannot ever be called monotheism. Unless you can call the number 3 a number 1.
‘Christ according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the holy Ghost the third. Each of these three persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son. The Holy Ghost proceeded form the Father and Son, but was an equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two. Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity.’
- Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
One god sends another down to earth. The god on earth prays to the god in heaven. The god in heaven is pleased with the god on earth. The god on earth says that the god in heaven is greater than he (the god on earth). The god on earth says he will later send a third god down to earth. The god in heaven forsakes the god on earth. The god on earth dies and goes to the god in heaven and sits by his side. That is polytheism for sure, one hundred percent. You can call it whatever you want, but it’s polytheism pure & simple.
God is not the author of confusion (I Cor. 14:33)

No. There is only 1 GOD, not 3, there is no son of God either, no nothing of God. Just God and God alone..... God didn't have brothers and sisters either. Christians will tell you anything.
There is NO 3!

Baptise them in the Name of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost. Name is singular of three.
These three witness in heaven, Father, Word & Holy Spirit & these three are one. 1Jn5.
The bible writes these three are one.
Jesus is the Word/bread that came down from heaven. Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I AM.". I AM that I AM is Yahweh Elohim One Yahweh.
But, Jesus also was human and His was a human ministry that He was born of a virgin, Seed of the Woman, without sin nature from mans seed. So He was whole in His humanity; body, soul & spirit, like Adam was before the fall. Tempted of the serpent, didn't sin in His Humanity. So He bore our sins on the cross, and because He was without sin, raised from the dead victoreous over death. He raised up an everlasting Spirit, soul & body. And we are resurrected and standing before Jesus; we will be like Him an everlasting spirit, soul & body.
This is the Trinity concept. The Creator is three in One. We are made in the image of Elohim, Father, Word & Holy Spirit. We are raised spirit, soul & body. But we are one person consisting of three parts.
At the fall of the first Adam, Adam died spiritually forbidden the tree of life. Then within an age died physically. Jesus said that to see the Kingdom of God, we must be born again, born of the Spirit. The first person is born flesh & the second is born Spirit. The soul of a person never dies. Only the body & spirit dies. But when one is born again, the spiritual birth blends withig the soul in the corruptable body. And the corruptable body will metomorph into a new everlasting body. That is when we stand before God whole; spirit, soul & body.

No the Trinity is one God. Read the Athanasian Creed.
In Christ

No, one Person (or Entity) of the Trinity sends another down to earth. One Person of the Trinity prays to another in heaven. One of the Persons of the Trinity is pleased with another Person of the Trinity who is on earth. The Person of the Trinity who is on earth says another Person of the Trinity who is in Heaven is greater (in position, NOT nature) than he. ... etc., etc., etc. This is not three separate Gods, but ONE God.
Until you can actually get that right, you're merely attacking a strawman.

To answer the question you pretended to ask, God isn't "three separate entities within one Spirit;" He is three distinct but inseparable Persons in one Spirit. Big difference.
Do you really have a question or are you just preaching?

I am a father , my son is my son, and my wife is my wife. Three different people. How difficult is that? God is one and his son is Jesus. God's holy spirit is his holy spirit which is not a person. . All different. So simple!!!

Not entities. Personalities.
You people just can't wrap your minds around that, can you?
I am a husband, a father, and an author. Three-in-one!

Following your logic, then 1 X 1 X 1 cannot equal one, either.

You have to consider how Satan, i.e. death, was defeated.
Then read this scripture.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
But right now, God is separate Offices, allow me for a lack of a term.
To defeat Satan legally, so that through repentance we are forgiven, not guilty, but yet sentence Satan to perish, right now God is not all in all but Offices.
