The reason why we attribute Augestine to the invention of the trinity is that he was the first to write a systematic essay on the trinity. The idea of the trinity was already being grappled with before him, with Valetine (saint Valentine), who talked about the "three hypostasis", but never wrote systematically about it. But he was declared a heretic at the First Councel of Nizia because he was a Gnostic. (Talked to professor.)
Hope that helps.
I think it was Saint Augestine? He was one of the early Christian theologians, all though he was called a saint. I think this was around 500 AD? Pretty sure. From Hippo?
I took religions class about 4 years ago, but that's one of the things that stood out to me, because it kind of unlocked the train of thought that most ideas about religion were created outside of the source (in this case being Jesus, Yeshua, whatev). So understanding that a religious view is and can be different from your own interpretation of whatever remaining doctrine is at your disposal (Bible, Gnostic Bibles, Dead Sea Scrolls, etc.) is quite enlightening. Doesn't necessarily take away from the message, just paints a more dynamic picture of the message that was intended. :)

Where does the Bible say the Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity?
The concept of the Holy Trinity arose in the third century of Christianity and was formally adopted by the Council of Nicaea in the fourth century, after spirited argument. The Bible never mentions the Holy Trinity, and therefore never says that the Holy Spirit is the third person. A passage known as the "Johannine Comma" (1 John 5:7) does refer indirectly to the concept of the Trinity, but was never in the early Greek manuscripts, only appearing in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.
