The Father is the one, which commands God Almighty.
Jesus is the doer in the Godhead, the Son.
The Holy Spirit is the one that manifest the commands of the Father and the doing of Jesus.

• Jesus God the Son is in charge of the administrations.
• God the Holy Spirit is in charge of the manifestations.
Jesus has no mother in Heaven, the Trinity used a human to give birth to Him, He came to Earth for one reason to redeem us, if we accept Him and believe that He is the Son of God, and that He was crucified and rose from the grave, to atone for our sins, we are "Born Again" The Father the Son (Jesus called the Word) and the Holy Spirit has existed in the Government of God, before time. They are Spirit. Since the Word became flesh, Jesus in Heaven in His Glorified body, to receive us and to Judge us, for our works, and to Judge the unsaved.
Understanding the Trinity is properly the most difficult thing is Christianity, the Spirit gives us the understanding, conviction of Sin, and the understanding of the Word, when you receive Jesus as Savoir, the Holy Spirit is a separate gift, we have to ask for to receive, the Holy Spirit is the Power of the Godhead, who raised Jesus from the grave.
Even as a Spirit filled Christian, understanding the Trinity is still not easy. You have to have a personal relationship which Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the Father answers our prayers, but He can only be accessed through Jesus. One God, but three persons with three functions. As I said it is the most difficult thing about God to understand.
The fear (acceptance & respect) of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.

The word Elohim is the plural word for God. (Trinity)
See this verse explained in the notes at Hebrew 1:9: where it is applied to the Messiah. The word "God" is rendered in the margin "O God O"" "O God, thy God, hath anointed thee," etc.
According to this construction, the thought would be carried on, which is suggested in Psalm 45:6: of a direct address to the Messiah as God. This construction is not necessary, but it is the most obvious one. The Messiah - the Lord Jesus - though he is described as God himself (John 1:1: et al.), yet addresses God as "His" God.
John 20:17: As Mediator, as appearing in human form, as commissioned to perform the work of redemption, and to subdue the world to the divine authority, it was proper thus to address his Father as "His" God, and to, acknowledge Him as the source of all authority and law.
This remarkable chapter in Genesis is quite clear that Abram saw three men but addressed them as one.
Examples of the Trinity, as being separate.
• Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.
• Isaiah 6:8: And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said here am I; send me!
• John 14:7: If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. And from now on you know Him and have seen Him.
• John 10:30: Or, if ye had properly examined the intention and design of the law, ye would have been convinced that it referred to me; and that all that I have done and instituted was according to the design and intention of the Father, as expressed in that law.
The Father commanded and Jesus made all things. The Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit together in scripture.

And lo, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him.

3. WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.

5. WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation'(trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
6. WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion(the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.
7. WE BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
8. WE BELIEVE... The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is 'Speaking in Tongues,' as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
9. WE BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
10. WE BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
11. WE BELIEVE...A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church.

At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]
14. WE BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.
15. WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
