There are Three mentioned in scripture, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The word Trinity comes from the Latin word trinitas which means simply, "A union of three." God is one Spirit as Jesus said, the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit Matthew 10:20. We see God unifying Himself with the Messiah with the Holy Spirit in Isaiah 42:1. That is the Trinity as the scriptures reveal the concept. The wording "God eternally exists as three persons" is misleading and is not supported by the scriptures in the original launguage.
Christ is the Spirit (2 Cor 3:17).
