If Father, Son and Ghost are the same, why invication of three, eg, in baptism?? Should not just one of them be enough??
Hindus have no trouble of this kind. Invocation of One means invocation of all Three.

We invoke all three persons of the Holy Trinity because Jesus Christ, God the Son, instructed us to do so in Matthew 28:19-20:
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
With love in Christ.

They are NOT the same. 'Trinity', 'three'. That's why the Baptismal rite. But they are one God.
Have you noticed the rite: In The Name Of The Father, Son And Holy Spirit -- not 'in the nameS'.
