What is the belief that God is one God in three Divine Persons called?

• A. Incarnation
• B. Trinity
• C. Creation
• D. Discipleship

Answer: (B)

The belief that God is one God in three Divine Persons is called the Trinity. It holds that there is one divine essence shared by three distinct Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are co-equal, co-eternal, and each fully God, yet there is only one God, not three gods. This explains how Jesus is God and distinct in his person from the Father, and how the Spirit is God who works with and among believers. Scriptural glimpses and the baptismal formula—singling out the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—help articulate this understanding, even though the word “Trinity” is a later church term to describe it. The other ideas refer to different concepts: Incarnation is God becoming human in Jesus, Creation is God bringing the world into being, and Discipleship is following Christ.
