Greg Haslam on Worshipping the Triune God

"All three Persons of the Godhead are to be acknowledged, honoured and intimately encountered in worship activities that aim to please God. We can have fellowship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all three and enjoy their manifest Presence among us ... When we encounter one, we encounter all three - God above us, God beside us, God inside us".

Greg Haslam - "God in Three Persons" - Newfrontiers Magazine - April - June 2008 - Volume 3 - Issue 7 - (p34).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on the Holy Spirit Operating in Trinity

"The Spirit shall not speak of Himself - which does not mean that He will not say things about Himself, so much as that He is not going to originate things Himself".

Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p230).

Robert Letham on Trinitarianism faith

"His (John Owen) focus on the three Persons was and is missing from the West in general. It is vital to restore a full blooded Trinitarianism faith. On the other hand in this he exhibits an over-reliance on allegorical exegesis of the Song of Solomon in "On Communion" - not that an allegorical, Christocentric interpretation of the Song of Solomon is illegitimate - despite attempts in the last century to rule it out - it is simply that this seems to me to be an inadequate basis for such an important argument".

Robert Letham - "John Owen's Doctrine of the Trinity" in "Where Reason Fails" - Westminster Conference 2006 - (pp14-15).

David Pawson on the Trinity

"[And] we have been saved from our sins by all three persons in God, working together in perfect harmony but with different contributions and all for our sake. The God above us, the God beside us and the God within us has acheived what we could never have accomplished for ourselves... Quite simply, the Trinity lies at the heart of the gospel. Without this reality, the relationship disintergrates. Without this good news, religion becomes bad news, an extra burden to be borne, extra duties to perform, something we have to carry rather than something that carries us, emphasising what we need to do for God rather than what God can do for us."
