Yes. God is the Father, the Spirit and Son, but He is still one God. It's beyond our understanding, but hey, that's God...mankind will never fully grasp his wonders. ;)

Our God is Spirit and we are those worshipping Him in spirit and truthfulness.
I found that the verses sited very Good:)
Ty for sharing.
I too believe that God is Father, Son and Spirit.
You sited verses that solidify the fact that the Father and the Spirit is One.
But there are so many that show that the Son and the Spirit is One.
1 Cor 15:45b
... The Last Adam( Christ) became a Life Giving Spirit.
Ties in beautifully with the Father giving Life and the SPirit giving Life don't you think?
Acts 5:9
And Peter said to her, why is it that it was agreed between you two to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at teh door and they will carry you out.
2 Cor 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.
2 Cor 3:18
But we all with unveiled face beholding and reflecting like a mirror the Glory of the Lord are being tranformed into the same image from Glory to glory even as from the Lord Spirit.

Philippians 1:19
For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Acts 16:7
And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
I tell you .. Our God is Triune.
Father Son and Spirit.
Co existing and Co inhering. Ever existing.
No matter how much we try we will never plumb the depths of such a mystery ... but today I sure am thankful that we can EXPERIENCE God in His trinity day by day!
Great Q and link

I could care less about the word "Trinity", I do however trust the Bible's wisdom on the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I also know why blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin, when blasphemies of the Father and the Son are both forgiven!
I agree with the video subject matter, however I do not believe in "Oneness" doctrine, or any other doctrine that seeks to deny the Holy Spirit among mankind.
We do not need indoctrination to believe. We need the influence of the Holy Spirit to know, trust, and honor His will. He guides us. He lets us know right from wrong. We trust the Bible because it verifies what we know... God.
I trust the Holy Spirit, regardless of the circumstances of Jesus birth or death. I know God. I know that Jesus was of God. I know we all are of God. I also know that many people doubt the truth.
God is not a belief. God is pure truth.
Nothing can disprove God.

The trinity was never meant to be a literal statement about God. It was first articulated in the late 4th century essentially as a devotional, to help common, uneducated people contemplate the mystery of God and the varieties of our experience of the divine. Since then, it has risen in stature as a doctrine, and is now understood as saying something very factual about the anatomy and physiology of God, so to speak. I disagree.
I think that your video makes a point, but not nearly enough of one. I think that a more rational, accessible version of deity would read as follows:
God is a noncorporeal being, not a "man upstairs". We understand him to be "spirit" although what this implies is far from clear. This divine Spirit lived in the man Jesus in the same way that gods are thought to reside in temples. Furthermore, this Spirit lives in the followers of Christ in the same way as it did in him--just as he predicted.
Still not very simple, but it make more sense than 3=1.

No. The Godhead consists of a Father and a Son. The Holy Spirit or Ghost is the spirit of the Father so it is one and the same as the Father but this doesnt pull Christ into it.
Many early true Christians were martyred by the church for refusal to accept the trinity.

Mt 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
1John 5:7-8
here are three Who speak of this in heaven: the Father and the Word and the Holy Spirit. These three are one. 8 There are three who speak of this on the earth: the Holy Spirit and the water and the blood. These three speak the same thing.
James 2:19

No. Why does God have to be a trinity? Because man said so? It is not in the Bible. Its mans own imagination of issues they can't possibly begin to understand. God is God. Jesus is the Son of God. The Holy Spirit is the expression of God's will.
