1 John 5:7 says there are three, then goes on to say who those three are --the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost-- then conitinues with these three are one. Based on the words "there are three"(tri) and "these three are one" (unity) some Apostolic teachers and preachers speak of the "triune" God, and that's where some Christians see a triunity or trinity.

The we in
John 14:23 is not God talking to God and that is in error if one thinks that. Paul perfectly explains this in
1 Timothy 2:5.
The 'They' in trinitarian lingo refers to multiple persons who are God. The "we" in this verse refers to the man Christ speaking to the Father (GOd, i.e. Word, father, Spirit)
I know there isn't in many that knowledge but regarding GOD (Father, Word, Spirit) said I even I am the Lord and beside me there is no Saviour.
The three is a me, not a they.
