According to the Mormons, are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost one God?
In terms of salvation, there is only One God, God the Father. Yes, the scriptures speak of three Beings – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. We affirm that they are one God in the sense that Christ meant in John 10:30 and 17:20-23, which is that they are one in heart and mind and purpose, so that any of the three fully represents the others. It’s as Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 5:8,9 – there are many “gods,” but to us there is but one God, the Father, AND His Son, Jesus Christ. There is one God the Father – but He can be fully represented by His Son, with whom He is one. Their unity is the unity that Christians should have, as Christ explained so clearly in John 17:20-23 (hard to mistake what is meant – it shows that the oneness of God and Christ is not that which comes from being one person/being, but from unity of heart and mind). Is there any chance of worshipping the wrong God by worshipping Christ? No. To follow Christ is to follow the Father. Thus we can say there is only one God,
