"Three Separate Personages -Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost - comprise the Godhead. As each of these persons is a God,
it is evident, from this standpoint alone, that a plurality of
Gods exists. To us, speaking in the proper finite sense, these
three are the only Gods we worship. But in addition there is an
infinite number of holy personages, drawn from worlds without
number, who have passed on to exaltation and are thus gods."
(Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce R. McConkie p576-577)
"I have always declared God to be a distinct personage, Jesus
Christ a separate and distinct personage from God the Father,
and the Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and a Spirit: and
these three constitute three distinct personages and three Gods."
(Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, by Joseph
Fielding Smith p370)
