That was painful to watch. 

Pastor Wohlberg goes on to perfectly articulate Mormonism's "Godhead" Doctrine which promulgates 3 "Beings" (Beings here being synonymous with "person").

In LDS (Mormon) Theology the Godhead is defined as 3 Divine Beings who are distinct flesh bound hominids that are "UNITED AND ONE IN PURPOSE".  This is exactly what the early SDA Church taught whilst Ellen was still alive an evidently still do.

Though the Godhead is made up of three distinct divine beings with certain different roles and characteristics, They are perfectly united in purpose. They work in harmony to help us come to know God, live righteously, be forgiven, and ultimately return to live with Them again. Together, They work “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39). 

Joseph Smith stated: 

Quote

If by ‘the doctrine of the Trinity’ one means the New Testament teaching that there is a Father, a Son, and a Holy Ghost, all three of whom are fully divine, then Latter-day Saints believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. It is as simple as that. The Latter-day  Saints’ first article of faith, written by Joseph Smith in 1842, states, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost……However, if by ‘the doctrine of the Trinity’ one means the doctrine formulated by the councils of Nicaea and Chalcedon and elaborated upon by subsequent theologians and councils–that God is three coequal persons in one substance or essence–then Latter-day Saints do not believe it".

Pastor Wohlberg makes it clear that he likes to use the TERM TRINITY because the way he defines it  - he goes on to say he absolutely doesn't agree with the Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox definition of the Trinity Doctrine. As a matter of fact Wohlberg admits to freely using the term Trinity but pours the Mormon Godhead definition into it and attempts to pass it off as "The Biblical Trinity".  Below Wohlberg spreads his special message of 3 Gods in a fairly recent video.

In Greek mythology the Greek God's were united in purpose and character and acted as one when they went to war and defeated the Titans and later again defeated the Titan Kronos. The God's Zeus and Hades along with Perseus (who while a demigod laid aside his divine power and lived as a man) - these three persons were united in purpose and defeated the Titan Kronos.
