TRINITY

TRINITY The Spirit of God (this "Wind" of God, if you will) is as sovereign in His Personal work of effectually calling (regenerating, borning-again-from above, translating, etc.) one of God’s elect from the death-state in sin to the divine life in Christ as was God the Father in foreknowing, electing, and predestinating that object of God’s love, and as was God the Son in accomplishing eternal redemption (expiating sin) and propitiation (satisfying Divine wrath) in His death, burial, and resurrection. The eternal salvation of God’s people requires (in agreement with and in view of God’s will and purpose) the cooperative workings and efforts of the power and unity of all Three Persons in the Godhead. Eternal salvation cannot occur by any One of the Three without the Other Two Persons; that is to say that God is not a "Unit," but a "Unity." A "unit" would properly be described as one person with three personalities; whereas, a "unity" would properly be defined as three persons with one personality. The plurality of Persons in the Godhead is a "Unity," not a "Unit" -these Three are One. 1 John 5:7 506 In the discussions lately there may seem to be indications that some believe that each person in the trinity operates sovereignly in the work that each does independently. Three of us engaged in this work here might be in 100% agreement on some points. However, we three are each subject to change. We are fickle. On our own, operating independently, the three of us are very likely to blow our unity all to pieces. There is no such problem in the Holy Trinity. There is such unity in the trinity that although there is sovereignty in each Member yet none operate independently aloof from the Others.

Therefore, I think there is actually unity between the seemingly opposing views of the brethren who have written each article.
