No. I believe in 3 Person who are the same G-D. Just because you believe in one G-D, doesn't make other monotheists believes in the same G-D. Greeks didn't believe in the same g-ds as the Egytians. Both were polytheists. Likewise, say you know a guy named Matt, and I know a guy named Matt. If you say, "Matt is tall, about 6 feet 7 inches dark, and handsome. He has blonde hair and is really nice." But I describe the guy I know, "Matt is short, about 4 feet 11 inches, and ugly. He has black hair and is a douche." We clearly don't know the same Matt. Likewise, if you have one description of G-D and I have another, we don't believe in the same G-D. Even if Matt and Matt had similar personality traits, they're still not the same person. Comparably, if we have the same books, it doesn't mean we believe in the same G-D.
