I hope to point out a couple of things about these "pet verses" that the trinitarians (in their carnality and ignorance) believe support a "trinity". First let us notice that I John 5:8 refers to three separate things that simply are in agreement. I John 5:7 refers to three "that bear record" yet ARE ONE (not three). I personally am on record in different capacities; I am a father, I am also a son, and I am a husband, but I am one; there is only one of me. I am not three separate persons who agree with one another...
Notice how the trinitarian will "claim" to believe in only one god, yet, they use plural terms "they" etc...It is basic trinitarian teaching that "these three are THREE; not one"..oh I know they try to qualify the teaching by rambling on about how the three are in agreement "as one"..But the Bible says "these three ARE ONE"...In other words ONE God (or person) manifested HIMself these three ways.
NOT three separate gods (Senior, Junior and birdie) that happen to agree with one another. Look closely at these verses and PRAY!
I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
I John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Here is another "pet verse" of the Roman heresy...they just love to parrot and repeat in baptism (yet they don't obey it, they just recite it; it is one thing to recite a verse, quite another to OBEY it). Jesus commanded that a NAME(singular) be used in baptism. We then need one name that fits the offices of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
THAT NAME IS JESUS..The apostles that heard Jesus speak Matt 28:19 always baptised repentant believers in water IN JESUS NAME.
Acts 2:38*Acts 8:14-17*Acts 10:47,48*Acts 19:3-7 (RE-Baptised)**
Another point to notice in Mat 28:18, Jesus claims to have ALL POWER (in heaven and earth) sooo if there are any other "god persons" they are powerless, and we need not concern ourselves about them.
Jesus is the name of the Father, Jesus is the name of the Son, Jesus is the name of the Holy Ghost. (these three are REALLY only ONE)
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
(COMPLETE IN HIM, NOT THEM!!)........
Jesus Christ==> Jehovah God, in the flesh, in person.
I hope this helps...
