Godhead, Not Trinity
Unlike Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christianity, Mormonism does not include belief in a Trinity, in which the one God consists of three persons. Instead, Mormons believe that the "Godhead" is made up of three distinct beings who are "one in purpose" but not in being. These beings are:
- God the Heavenly Father;
- Jesus Christ; and
- the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost).
