Salam,

THERE IS SUBORDINATION WITHIN THE GODHEAD

1. Subordination in operation, but not in existence or in essence (1 Cor. 11:3).

a. The Father sent the Son (1 John 4:14).

b. One sent is not greater than the One who sent Him (John 13:16).

c. Father greater than the Son (John 14:28), in some sense other than existence and essence.

d. Jesus came to do the will of the Father (John 6:38).

e. Father & Son would [and did] send the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 15:26).

2. The Son willingly subordinated Himself to the Father (Phil. 2:5-7).

3. The Holy Spirit would [and did] willingly subordinate Himself to the Father and the Son (John 16:7-15).

4. In the physical creation the Father planned, the Word executed and the Holy Spirit arranged and organized (Heb. 1:1,2; John 1:1-3; Col. 1:14-16; Gen. 1:1,2).

5. In the spiritual creation the Father planned, the Word executed and the Holy Spirit arranged and organized (Titus 1:1,2; 2 Tim. 1:8,9; Heb. 10:5-10; 1 Cor. 15:1-8; Heb. 2:3,4; Eph. 3:1-7; 1 Cor. 2:6-13).

CONCLUSION: The Father, Son & Holy Spirit are One God but three persons. They are one in essence, in plan and in purpose. They are distinct in personality and in operation.
