If they mean persons similar to human persons then it's problematic. If it means three personas as in "three simultaneous modes of existence" then we have agreement.

Hoovie, would you affirm or deny the following statement?

To clarify, to say that each member of the Trinity is a ‘person’ does not mean that God the Father or God the Spirit became human beings. Rather, it means that each member of the Trinity thinks, acts, feels, speaks, and relates because they are persons and not impersonal forces. Further, each member of the Trinity is equally God, which means that they share all the divine attributes, such as eternality, omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence.*
