Q. 6. How many persons are there in the Godhead?
A. There are three persons in the Godhead: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost;[20] and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. |
Wow do I feel dumb. But it seems that modern Christianity favors the terms 'nature' or 'essence'. Perhaps that is because the word 'substance' seems to cause confusion these days. (For the reasons stated above)
