According to modal logic, the term necessary means that the thing in question is not possibly false. Yet, a tri-omni being isn't innately true. It goes back to the problem with premise 1 - demanding existence because the desired conclusion requires it.

Which, I believe, is a concession even Plantinga admits to.
