Mormons: Do you believe the Apostle John is still alive?

As stated in D&C 7: https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/7?lang=eng

Are Peter and James alive too?

If so, are they all Mormons now serving as Mormon Apostles?

(By alive, I mean never died per D&C 7.)

While I chose a "best answer," I was amazed, although not surprised, at the amount of Mormon circular reasoning and dismissive comments. This is a real problem that is simply unaccounted for in Mormonism. Claiming the Apostle John never died is a patent absurdity contained in the Mormon scriptures.

Sober and objective people see this as a fatal flaw removing Mormonism from divine revelation.

See if you can find the Apostle John.

Does this diagram finally set the record straight on what the "trinity" actually is?

Here's the official explanation by a so-called "expert" in trinitarian theology:

Jesus is God, The Father is God, and The spirit is God
The father, son, and spirit are not the same person
There is One God
The spirit precedes from the father and the son is begotten of the father

Does this finally clarify the trinity?

My Answer:

Correct, that's Trinitarianism in a nutshell. That diagram is the Scutum Fidei meaning "Shield of the Faith."

However, it is diametrically opposed to Jesus Christ's own declaration at John 17:1-5, that the Father person is "the only true God." Thus, the God of the person Jesus is one person, the Father.

The Father resurrected Jesus from the grave and exalted him to a position Jesus did have before his earthly sojourn. Therefore, the Trinitarian Scutum Fidei is a misrepresentation of Biblical monotheism.
