You can't separate Father, Son and Spirit.

Father is Spirit. Spirit is HOW Father exists in His Deity.

Son is Spirit and Flesh. Spirit is the Divine nature of the Father ontologically united with the Human nature.

The Son is for all intents and purposes, fully human. He has a human nature. In the incarnation the Son empties Himself of Deity, not that he stops being God but that means he "puts aside" his diety temporarily for use. He does not use it so he can truly be that humbled human servant Paul talks of.

  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
