Quotes:

“We worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity, neither blending their persons nor dividing their essence. For the person of the Father is a distinct person, the person of the Son is another, and that of the Holy Spirit still another. But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal.” - Athanasian Creed in Faith Alive Christian Resources, Christian Reformed Church in North America, and Reformed Church in America, Our Faith: Ecumenical Creeds, Reformed Confessions, and Other Resources (Grand Rapids, MI: Faith Alive Christian Resources, 2013), 17.

First John Calvin reference: Calvin, Institutes, 1.13.3.

“a person distinct from the Father who is nevertheless identified also as God.” - Michael Horton, The Christian Faith (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), 275.

“There is one God, eternal, unchangeable, infinite, almighty, and the source of all good,” and that “God is one essence in three persons, eternally distinct by incommunicable properties: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinct, yet one, not divided, fused, or mixed together.” Belgic Article 1; 8 in Our Faith, 26; 31.; See also Heidelberg Catechism Q & A 24, 25 and the Belhar Confession in Ibid., 76; 145.

“especially useful when the truth is to be asserted against false accusers,” - Calvin, Institutes 1.13.4.

“God is one. Father, Son, and Spirit are three. God’s unity is not a unity of separable parts but of distinguishable persons.” -Thomas C. Oden, Classic Christianity: A Systematic Theology (New York: HarperOne, 2009), 109.
