David,
I see that your second question has not been addressed (unless someone 
replied to it off list). You ask:

> Also, in that verse is the phrase TOU MEGALOU QEOU KAI SWTHROS HMWN.
> Does the text 'prove' that one or two persons are in view here?

The simple answer is that the words (which in addition to the portion you 
quote add the personal name IHSOU XRISTOU) allow for one person to be in 
view or for two to be in view. One has to look wider than the verse itself 
to in order to make a personal decision about what the author had in mind.

Regards
Robert Newman
