I'm no great interpreter of scripture, but I read that to be an explanation of how Jesus is God, and that he is both Father and Son, for the reasons Abinidi states. I don't think I can take away from this that the Father is also the Son or the Holy Ghost that would be a step beyond what Abinidi is saying. Nor do I think it is saying that Elohim and Jehovah are interchangeable titles. It is saying that Jesus is everything the father is.

So while I think the scripture you are quoting lends support to that statement in part, I don't think it lends support to a much more expansive "any or all."
