Trinity explanation and biblical references
The Trinity is based on New Testament statements about Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The name Trinity does not appear in the Bible, but three persons of the Godhead are shown in Jesus command to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and in John 14 26 where the Comforter is sent by the Father. The threefold blessing in some epistles also points to this doctrine.
