There is no so called "trinity" in 1 John 5:7. Here is how the verse is written in the Word of God:

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
— (1 John 5:7).

Why is there three that bear record in heaven? Because:

"...In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."
— (2 Corinthians 13:1).

And what is the record that these three bear in heaven of? This is the record:

"...That God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."
— (1 John 5:11-12).

How did the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ bear record in heaven that God hath given to us eternal life? He did so when his Son:

"...Was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
— (Matthew 3:16-17).

God the Father is the only true God. As his Son said:

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
— (John 17:3).

Why did the Word of God bear record in heaven? Because it is forever settled in heaven. As it is written:

"For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."
— (Psalm 119:89).

The Word of God is:

"...Quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
— (Hebrews 4:12).

The Word of God has borne record in heaven from Genesis to Revelation that God hath given us eternal life. Wherefore, Jesus Christ said:

"...These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me."
— (Luke 24:44).

And God's Word was with him in the beginning and is him:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
— (John 1:1).

Contrary to popular belief, there was no co-equal God with him in the beginning. As the LORD of hosts said:

"...Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any."
— (Isaiah 44:8).

And how did the Holy Ghost bear record in heaven? It was poured out from heaven when Jesus was glorified. As it is written:

"(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"
— (John 7:39).

And the Spirit itself:

"...Beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."
— (Romans 8:16-17).

Who is the Holy Ghost? He is the Almighty God. He is the Holy Father:

"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are."
— (John 17:11).

And God is a Spirit:

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
— (John 4:24).

God anointed Jesus Christ his Son:

"...With the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
— (Acts 10:38).

Wherefore, Jesus Christ called that Holy Spirit that was dwelling in him, his Father:

"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
— (John 14:10).

It is therefore written in the scripture, that:

"...God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself..."
— (2 Corinthians 5:19).

It is therefore written concerning the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost that:

"...These three are one."
— (1 John 5:7).

Praise the Lord! He that is of God heareth God’s words.
