"Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." (Acts 7:56)
Seriously, I would like some clarification and interpretation on this. All are welcome.
Or are they not one entity?

God can manifest Himself to man as One if He chooses to or as God the Father, God the Son Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit. Stephen saw in heaven Jesus Christ in His resurrected body standing at the right hand of God the Father (in Spirit) while the Holy Spirit in Stephen as His temple was opening his spiritual eyes to see heaven opening to him. Acts 7 reveals to us Jesus Christ and God the Father and the working of the Holy Spirit in Stephen.

They are one entity and when Jesus was baptized the Spirit descended upon him as a dove while the Father spoke from Heaven. They are three persons of one God. That doesn't mean that they don't have individuality. It's not as if God has multiple personality disorder.

1) He wasn't the first one to see God.
2) God can manifest Himself in more than one place.
Daniel 7
13 "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

You've obviously never watched Voltron.
In all seriousness, it's the concept of something being three discrete entities and one singular entity at the same time.

This is figurative language, This is to show that the Christ is who he claimed to be. The people of that time would have understood this perfectly,This is prophetic language. Hope I could help.
