...the one God is a family, presently consisting of God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ. And God is in the process of adding to the divine family multitudes of others - eventually all human beings who are willing and who faithfully choose to follow God’s way...the Father and Jesus Christ are both God...The real message in these pronouncements is that there is no other God apart from the true God’that is, outside the God family now consisting of two divine Beings, the Father and the Son. In short, the God family alone is God...the true God means the one God family to which others will yet be added.”
From http://www.ucg.org/booklet/god-trinity/do-some-verses-deny-divine-family/
More:
“Trinitarians would argue that this is because the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one triune being. But the true explanation is that the one God is the one God ‘family.’” (From same link as above)
The UCG on the Holy Spirit:
“...the Holy Spirit is the very nature, presence and expression of God’s power actively working in His servants...the very essence and life force through which the Father begets human beings as His spiritual children...The Holy Spirit is spoken of in many ways that demonstrate that it is not a divine person.”

Well okay, again as far as it goes, minus the snark and the contempt, it's an okay summary.

But again quoting out of context, adding your context, and not quoting all the scriptural proofs doesn't accurately reflect my beliefs.

***Then maybe you should insert what exactly does “accurately reflect your beliefs” because by claiming the Holy Spirit is not a divine person, that church is engaging in anti-trinitarian heresy.
