The Apostle Paul was not a Trinitarian

Paul, the most prolific New Testament writer, gave honor to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in the introductory salutation of every one of his epistles. However, he did not mention the Holy Spirit. Why would he not honor the third person of the Trinitarian Godhead?

It is interesting to note that when he does include a third name it is not the Holy Spirit. Consider:

1Ti 5:21 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels,.....

If the Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity, why are angles mentioned in the place of it.

One can only conclude that Paul was not a Trinitarian.
