Would the original Trinity doctrine possibly be trying to state that there are 3 entities, but that the message and final outcome of following the message is identical(i.e. all 3 lead to the same door)?
3. And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;
4. Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance.
5. For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit.

I know the truth of it, I was asking those that have a belief in the Trinity Doctrine, I want to see if maybe the Doctrine was made on sound princibles and possibley warped by man into what is taught in many religions today.

no, I don't know what you mean.... no offense, but you almost sound like this guy:
he is of course being sarcastic.
you made soda go through my nose!
p.s. I challenge anyone who disagrees with this to find any reference to the trinity doctrine in the bible.
I would have agreed that is as close to the bible talking about the trinity as you could get.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (NIV)

The idea is that there seems to be a trinity in the New Testament, just not like what people want to have as a creed.
In the above quoted verse, is a statement of there being one baptism. This is in concord with the commission to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. That does not mean you baptize each person three times.
Not a baptism that I am familiar with, though it sounds as if I may have heard of something like this before.
it is custom to have the hands of ordained ministers laid upon your head for the recieving of the holy spirit.
