This is a Paradox. Everything is God, as everything came from the energy of the Lifeforce sent out by the Source of Life. But there are still zillions of Lifeforms. The Trinity is the Godhead. A Ruling Body over spiritual things.
The Holy Spirit is a Feminine entity which brings the Lifeforce to us from the Source. And is our LifeLine to our Creator.
The Son is a member of the Masculine energy. Helping to bring our spirits back to reunion with the Source. And The Father, (a patriarchal term), is the Source of Life. But is neither Masculine or Feminine, but both. Complete, Whole, (Holy). Things don't break down into what we understand as the Maculine and the Feminine until the Lifeforce leaves the Source, and returns.

The trinity is not a combination of three different gods it is a description of the threefold nature of God-of what has been revealed to us so far regarding His personality and power
You are right to conclude the Holy Spirit and the Father are the same,you are therefore saying the Holy Spirit is the same as Jesus as He was the Father in human form.

The reason we call God a trinity is that the Holy Spirit is at one and the same time the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ (see Romans 8:9). The trinity doctrine is that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the same being, but different persons.

There are those who worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost as separate beings without accepting the Nicene Creed.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, are all the same, therefor we call them the Holy Trinity.

Reconcile that the Holy Ghost is here working with us while God the Father is in Heaven..........kinda makes them two entities, or manifestations. We say Trinity because there are three manifestations of the same "God." God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

I am a Christian and I worship the one true God, Jesus Christ. We read in Isaiah 9:6 the following,
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." This the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah about the future birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Note He is called the Mighty God and the Everlasting Father.
John1:1-5 states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
In John 8:51-58 Jesus declares to the church leaders the following, " Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."
The Lord God of the Hebrews told Moses that He is the great I AM. Christ declared that He is the I AM. I believe that Jesus is the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in regeneration, but ONE GOD who manifests Himself in three ways. I believe in being baptized in Jesus Name because that formula was commanded on the day of Pentecost by Peter. There are a total of four times in the book of Acts where we read of someone being baptized in or into the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Whe Jesus commanded His disciples to "...go ye therefore into all the earth baptizing them in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost" He was not speaking that formula. Notice He said the NAME not the NAMES. The NAME is that of of the one true God, Jeshua, Yahweh, Jehovah. The NAME that is above all names, Jesus, Creator, Saviour, and Redeemer. Praise His Holy NAME!
