| | | Christ and "Father"
When Christ (the second person of the trinity manifest in the flesh) prayed to "Father" who did he pray to. Was it the first person of the trinity or was it to the triune God? 
Oops...just realised this is in the epistles section...appologies

| | | I would say the First Person of the Trinity: Juan 14:16 distinguishes Christ, Father and Comforter, in the context of Jesus praying. |

Of course, I would assume that, due to the perichoretic nature of the Godhead, that the Holy Spirit was also privy to what the Son had to say to the Father.
