So, when we say that Jesus is the Father what we mean is that the man Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is also the Father.

When discussing Oneness we should use the very terms Jesus used when describing His "oneness" with the Father
|
Jesus never used the terms "I am the Father" nor did anyone else in the scripture. Sometimes people try to prove their point so strongly that they add things that aren't there. He said I and my Father are one and He said I am in the Father. He said if you have seen me you have seen the Father (He is the image of the invisible). The way we define things will have bearing on whether we can convert trinitarians to the truth.
Scripture never says we must understand the Godhead in order to be saved,
(some understanding is necessary to understand Jesus name baptism and not the titles) but we must be born again. That is repentance, Jesus name baptism, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
