Who Indwells Believers?

Some often present the following as proof that God is three persons:

Who Indwells Believers?
The Father (1 Cor 3:16a; 2 Cor 6:16; 1 Jn 3:24);
Jesus (Jn 6:56; Rom 8:10; Eph 3:17);
The Holy Spirit (Jn 14:16-17; Rom 8:9, 11; 1 Cor 3:16b).

Some add:

The Bible even describes this in terms of different combinations: Father and Son (Jn 14:23); Father and Holy Spirit (Eph 2:21-22; 1 Jn 3:24); Son and Holy Spirit (Gal 4:6).

The fact remains that in none of the scriptures presented do we find the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jaocb presented as three persons.  There is definitely nothing in the fact that the scriptures record the God and Father of Jesus (Micah 5:4; Ephesians 1:3) dwells or resides in the believer and that his Son dwells or resides in the believer and that Holy Spirit of God also dwells or resides in the believer that gives us any reason to imagine, assume, add to, and read into the scriptures that Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is more than one person, and/or that Jehovah is three persons, etc.

We hope to return here to examine each scripture individually as related to other scriptures not given above.
