A Trinitarian Statement

This is a statement found on a website
Spirit of Fire Evangelistic Ministries

We Believe:
In the One True God, who reveals Himself in three distinct persons; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Three being one and equal and eternally self existent as the Great "I AM."
http://www.spiritoffire.org/statementoffaith.html

I wonder how many Trinitarians agreed?

My question here is this...if a "he" is a person why do Trinitarians so often say "reveals HIMSELF in three distint persons"? as though God is one person revealed in three persons? Why not say "reveals itself"? Or why say that at all since revealing might be best said to be an attribute of a person....why not say "Father, Son and Holy Ghost reveals themselves as God"?

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
