The problem of “equality of being with equality of function” is that the inequality of the function necessitates an inequality of being. For example if Jesus is not allowed to be worshiped by our prayers to him, then how is it that he is equal in his Deity? The essence of God is that he is worthy of being worshiped. When we are told that one of the three is not to be prayed to then his essence as God is called into question. You can’t say that he is God but you can’t worship him. Now Bruce Ware does say that Jesus is to be worshiped as God, just that you can’t worship him as God in prayer. But I say that if you limit the worship given to Jesus in any way then Jesus cannot be God in the same way that the Father is God. Withholding any type of worship given to Jesus is illogical and unscriptural.
