distinct communion

John Owens teaches that because each member of The Trinity is distinct, then we have the ability distinctly commune with each one. Owens clarified that distinct communion does not mean exclusive communion.

While all three members of the Trinity are God, they are in fact distinct from each other as we can see below. This does not make any Person of God to be lesser or greater. It does not make any of Them less God. They are all God.

1 John 5.7 For there are three who testify:
