In reply to:
[color:"blue"]WCF XXI seems to leave the door open for this as well. Following II: Religious worship is to be given to God, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost;, III defines prayer, with thanksgiving to be one special part of religious worship, and in the requirements which follow, addressing the Father alone does not appear. If being worshipped is accepted by each member of the Trinity, is one right to imply that being addressed in prayer will be rejected by Christ and the Holy Spirit?



Paul,

Thanks for pointing that out. The Westminster Divines seem to have already been where I was trying to go--that if Christ and the Holy Spirit are equally God with the Father, then each of the Persons of the Trinity is worthy of our worship, adoration, and praise. And it seems to me that worship and praise must include prayer.
