Romans 8:9, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Romans 8:16, The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: . . . .
1 John 5:12, He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
2 John 1:9, Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

Why do you contradict yourself?
God is a complex triune entity composed of 3 distinct people: Father, Son / Logos, Holy Ghost.

I didn't contradict myself. I am a Trinitarian. I am an anti-tritheist.

False. I believe in the simplicity of the one LORD God. And the three distinct Persons who are that one God. God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit.

As far as I know, all trinitarians are anti-tritheist. There is not 3 gods, but 3 people in one God.
You just bristle at the nomenclature “God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost”. You prefer “God is the Father, Son of God, and Holy
Ghost”. I see your point.
That way of speaking though hints at oneness/Modualism

Oneness Modalism explicitly denies that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three distinct Persons being the same God.

False. There is no simplicity in one entity, known as God, being 3 different people.

Secondly, are you denying? Deuteronomy 6:4, Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: . . . .
There is one God. One not three Gods. Not three people.
First, God is not three people. The Trinity is three distinct Persons. Not people.

@Ascetic X,
The distinction between people and persons is unique to English.
We don't think of God as one among other people. Now Jesus is being a man.
We do not think of the three persons in the Trinity like three men.

The term “persons” has no theological advantage over “people”.
In normal usage, we never say “there are four persons over there”, we always say “people”. The term “people” does not diminish the quality of the plurality, as in one among many.
Speaking of 3 people in one God is far less awkward than saying 3 persons.
"People" is the standard plural of "person" for general use, referring to a group of individuals. "Persons" is a formal, often legal term emphasizing generic status, frequently used in official notices, legal documents, or specifically numbered, small groups (e.g., "missing persons," "maximum 4 persons allowed at this table").

Technically yes.
But no: We do not think of the three persons in the Trinity like three men.
Only the secoind Person in the Trinity being with the unitary God even relates to our common sense of being a person.
