Defining the godhead - an open discussion on Unitarianism, Binitarianism and Trinitarianism

If that's a straw-man, why isn't your nonsense about the word trinity?
Me: X is not in the Bible.
You. X is not in the 1st sentence of the 3rd chapter of the 5th book of the NT.

Also you. How come my criteria is invalid but yours is?

No, I agree.
Your criteria is invalid. - LOL

Who was present at Jesus' baptism?

Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as a person. (he)

John 14:26 NIV
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

John 15:26 NIV
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—
the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Fatherhe will testify about me.

Who was present at Jesus' baptism?

Matthew 3:16-17 NIV
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water.
At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Is the definite article in the Greek? (yes)

Did Jesus say this?

Matthew 28:19 RSVue
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

What do you make of this?
(what is the name of your God?)

Acts 4:10-12 NIV
then know this, you and all the people of Israel:
It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,
that this man stands before you healed.
11 Jesus is
“‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’[a]
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given to mankind by which we must be saved
.”

Let's try another one.
The Word was God. The Word became flesh and lived among us.
Who was the Word, that was God and lived among us? (Jesus)

John 1:1-3 NRSVue
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through him,
and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being ...
And the Word became flesh and lived among us,
and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son,[d]
full of grace and truth.

Who is the "us" and "our" in this verse?

Genesis 1:26 NIV
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,
so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,
over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over
all the creatures that move along the ground.”

]
 
This is interesting.
The Hebrew on this is indicating a capital O and U on "Our likeness", "Our image" and "Us".

Here's another one.

Philippians 2:5-7 NIV
In your relationships with one another,
have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something
to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
