Interesting. To make it seem more UPC in the middle where it says God replace that with Jesus....more people might agree with that. lol
You are of course right and that is sad - because then the diagram would be wrong and I could not agree with it.

I believe God is the Father.
I believe God is the Son.
I believe that God is the Holy Ghost.
I believe these three are one.
Now, was the above grouping of statements Oneness or Trinitarian?
I am just troubled that you are using the term "Grouping" in this inquisition.

I believe the Father is the one omnipresent Holy Spirit of God, so I'd probably have to draw a line thru the "is not" between them.
Where exactly could we fit the name "Jesus" in amongst it all? And how many times?

The distinctions are there. But, they are not each "persons" in and of themselves.

It is true many Oneness folks are correctly called Jesus Only. It's bad theology but it’s what many of us have been taught. I remember a pastor explaining Jesus as the Father animating a human body. Oh how wrong that is.
