That's not quite true. Certainly most Christians believe so, but there are some modern Christian sects who don't. They are collectively known as non-trinitarians.
The largest non-trinitarian Christian denominations are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Oneness Pentecostals, Jehovah's Witnesses, La Luz del Mundo and the Iglesia ni Cristo, though there are a number of other smaller groups, including Christadelphians, Christian Scientists, Dawn Bible Students, Living Church of God, Assemblies of Yahweh, Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, Members Church of God International, Unitarian Universalist Christians, The Way International, The Church of God International, and the United Church of God.
Actually, Oneness Pentecostals still believe that God Is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They just do not like to use the term 'Trinity,' or 'Persons,' to describe Him. Oneness teaching asserts that God is a singular spirit who is one, not three persons, individuals or minds. "Father", "Son" and "Holy Spirit"
I see where you're coming from, but there is a difference (not a big difference, but a difference nevertheless) between thinking that there is only one God and it is a singular divine Spirit, who manifests himself in many ways, including as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
To put it in a perspective it's the difference between being the son (Jesus) and the father (God) who forms a single entity rather than a single entity who takes different forms.
The holy spirit is more diffuse since different denominations have different ideas of exactly what that is.
