"It is quite common for those who deny the Trinity to make Christians feel as if they are somehow inconsistent in believing in a doctrine that is not ‘biblical.’ ‘Where do you find the word "Trinity" in the Bible?’ they ask. Yet just the opposite is the case. The only folks who are truly biblical are those who believe all the Bible has to say on a given topic. If I believe everything the Bible says about topic X and use a term not found in the Bible to describe the full teaching of Scripture on that point, am I not believing more truthful to the Word than someone who limits themselves to only biblical terms, but rejects some aspect of God’s revelation? Christians believe in the Trinity not because the term itself is given in some creedlike form in the text of Scripture. Instead, they believe in the Trinity because the Bible, taken in its completeness, accepted as a self-consistent revelation of God, teaches that there is one Being of God that is shared fully by three divine persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. There is, therefore, no contradiction between being a ‘Bible believer’ and holding to the Trinity. The one leads naturally, and inevitably, to the other."
