- God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equally God and there is a mutual submission between them rather than a hierarchy.
- The Trinity is involved in all aspects of salvation - the Father sends the Son by the Spirit, the Spirit empowers the Son's work, and the Father raises the Son by the Spirit.
- While fully three, the Trinity also demonstrates a unity within the diversity of the three persons.
Some reformational basics

4) God sovereignly and faithfully upholds and directs creation through divine decrees and laws that penetrate and provide order for all things.
