Jesus became the Holy Spirit after his so called resurrection. I've never heard once that it is about the sin thing, to be honest.
It's not about God having to split himself in three parts. It's simply how Christianity is. God is the father, Jesus is the son (he proclaimed himself to be), and the Holy Spirit is Jesus' resurrected. That's why Christians always say that line to end their prayer.
While on the subject, you could kind of put Islam's Mohammed in the same spot as Jesus was. If I'm not mistaken that is, didn't he believe he was the prophet too? All given, he probably never said he was the son of God, but still. That's also my point about the Bible not being written by God, whereas the Quran apparently is. Why should God write a book? I remember reading this article about this German professor/Islamic school teacher, where he after a while started disbelieving in the religion itself, just by clean thinking. He said the same thing in there too, "God does not write books".
Anyway, just trying to inform of what I still know, plus we kind of dug into the subject in our religion class in school lately (about Judaism, Christianity and Islam, in order). I'm far from a believer (thus Atheist, I guess) but that's what I remember at least, having had tons of religious classes when I was younger.
