The Westminster Shorter Catechism Q6

How many persons are there in the Godhead?
There are three persons in the Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. (1 John 5:7, Matt. 28:19)

How many persons are there in the Godhead?
There be three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one true, eternal God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory; although distinguished by their personal properties. (1 John 5:7, Matt. 3:16–17, Matt. 28:19, 2 Cor. 13:14, John 10:30)

What are the personal properties of the three persons in the Godhead?
It is proper to the Father to beget the Son, (Heb. 1:5–6,8) and to the Son to be begotten of the Father, (John 1:14,18) and to the Holy Ghost to proceed from the Father and the Son from all eternity. (John 15:26, Gal. 4:6)

How doth it appear that the Son and the Holy Ghost are God equal with the Father?
The scriptures manifest that the Son and the Holy Ghost are God equal with the Father, ascribing unto them such names, (Isa. 6:3,5,8, John 12:41, Acts 28:25, 1 John 5:20, Acts 5:3–4) attributes, (John 1:1, Isa. 9:6, John 2:24–25, 1 Cor. 2:10–11) works, (Col. 1:16, Gen. 1:2) and worship, (Matt. 28:19, 2 Cor. 8:14) as are proper to God only.
