​​​​@@michelhaineault6654 - Agree. Sir. And there is a HUGE AND FATAL difference between Oneness and Trinitarian theology. In Deuteronomy 6:4, it declares Gd is One, and in Deuteronomy 4:15-16 states God has NO form or image: *"Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of form on the day that the LRD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the form of any figure, the likeness of MALE or female."* In this passage, we see clearly there is only One God that is the source of all things, and, that this Spirit-entity has NO HUMAN FORM! ☝🏾👀 Let me repeat - God has NO HUMAN FORM !! The Catholic Trinity doctrine declares that Gd has a human form, which is Jesus in the flesh! This is the grave sin of PURE IDOLATRY ! 🤷🏽‍♂️ Trinity MISREPRESENTS the ALL-PRESENT nature of God by reducing God to human flesh! It also limits believer's faith in God, as God in all His glory has a human body, a face, a skin color, and is at a location! Help us! 🤦🏽‍♂️ So that is the danger with Trinitarian doctrine. Although they would declare God is All-Present, they insist God is the body and blood of Jesus! This teaching contradicts God's prohibitions against making ANY form or image to idolize! *Oneness may have their flaws, but at least, they along with Biblical Unitarians, are closer to the truth than the Trinitarians.* My Kind Regards🙏🏽 :)

If one argues from the point of view that the Father is love, and that the objects of his love, are the Son and the Holy Spirit, then who has been the eternal object of the love of the one God? Why was not the trinity mentioned or inferred in Acts 2:38; 8:14-16; 10:47:48; 19:5? Speaking of the incomprehensibility of God, can the same not be said of the God of the oneness movement?

The resolution of the Jerusalem Council did maintain the prohibition of eating blood and strangled animals. Of course, this was a reference to a universal principle from times a Noah well before the ratification of the Mosaic dietary laws (Gen. 9:4).

The true original Orthodoxy was modalistic monarchism. The true Christians were Oneness and belief Jesus name in baptism, baptized in the spirit with speaking in other tongues as the spirit gives the utterance. Historically in the first century Bible they never spoke of the trinity. In the second century they were monarchy ends they never spoke of the Trinity, finally in the third century tertullian spoke of Trinitas or Trinity in the Latin, he also stated that the majority of believers didn't accept what he was shoveling ( my word for it). Many of your early fathers this is Justin Martyr was a two God believer Origen believe in subordination an Jesus as another god. Or logos. Tell me who was God in John 1:1?

[@conniecostello3072]

What is very serious is that Oneness Pentecostals sometimes hide in the leadership of non-denominational Pentecostal organizations without censure. I once ignorantly got involved with a church that was Oneness Pentecostal. They had split off from a non-denominational church, but that was not the issue. Church leadership was constantly splitting, sometimes over personality differences. When I discovered that the pastor was Oneness, I described it as him holding the doctrine in his back pocket and not telling people what he believed until he had a following. To my dismay very few in the congregation even understood the issue. When a group is more about emotional experience and not about the foundational doctrines of Christ, you are in deep trouble. I left his group and many did also, but the pastor went on for years and is still out there somewhere. I discovered that one of his problems was that he was so against the Catholic Church of his heritage, that he accepted the lie that the Trinity and other doctrines came into the Church with Constantine. But this man taught for years in the church I was attending before the split, with his heresy completely unaddressed by leadership.

[@evangelismprojectsd]

Wow, thanks for sharing that, been seeing similar cases here in San Diego Ca. The wolves in sheep's clothing sneak into the flock and start working from within. And Oneness sounds so similar to the Trinity when it is explained, that those who aren't well equipped in sound doctrine can easily get deceived. That's why now a days when I share the Gospel, I make clear emphasis on the Trinity and how necessary it is for Salvation and preaching the true Gospel. 1 John 2:22-24 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

The Baptist Church had fallen to 11 members of which about half will stay after we take over. He taught the Oneness Apostolic doctrine from the word go. If they didn't want to have heard it anymore they could have had him stop at any time but they let him do it for 3 months none converted yet, but they know he is preaching out of the Bible and what it says.

It’s interesting that the apostles spent personal time with Jesus when he was on the earth. Jesus taught them. They were to be the launchers of this New Testament salvation. Do you think those apostles got it wrong when they baptized believers in Jesus name. After all Jesus commanded them to go and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the holy Spirit. I think He taught them well. They knew His name. Jesus was God (the Father) who manifested Himself in the flesh (son of God). He would indwell His believers by His holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38: 19:1-5, 1 Timothy 3:16. The godhead was errantly redefined as a trinity of 3 beings. The apostles were strict monotheists. They believed one God was their Father. And Jesus taught the disciples that it was He who walked among them in the son of God. Colossians 2:8-12. John 14:8-10. He was God with us (Emanuel) Isaiah 9:6, Matt 1:23 Jehovah/Yahweh said every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. It was said of Jesus, that at His name every knee shall bow…..and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” To the glory of God the Father because He is God the father in human form as a son.

I am familiar with that line of reasoning, which suggests that God by nature cannot be love unless there is another person beside him, to love. When the scriptures say God is love, is it referring to the Father or the one God? All of mankind, has eternally been the object of God's love, based on his eternal foreknowledge. (1)Your position has to state who was the eternal love of the one God, if the object must exist. (2)Your position must prove why an object of his love, must always exist, in order to be the object of his love. (3)Your are indirectly stating that believers in Christ, as well as the rest of mankind, were never objects of his live, simply because none existed in eternity. Is this the view you hold to?

Ok Hank I will give you some thing to think about. We believe God is the Father, he created us. Jesus the Son is God man in flesh and we believe in the Holy Spirit, the presence and power of God. Are they 3 persons and will you see 3 bodies in heaven? No they have 3 roles that are necessary for our salvation. Allow me to explain, only a true human could die for our sins and could take our place and shed his blood. So Jesus had to be the Son of God in order to die for our sins. But in order for the Son to be born, no human could do that, God had to be the Father of that baby born in the womb of a virgin and then salvation is not just because of what happened 2ooo years ago. It has to be applied to our lives today. How does that happen God comes to us in his Spirit, so God's not eternally 3 persons named Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But God has operated in our lives as Father, Son, and Spirit for the specific purpose of redeeming us, or saving us from sin. So with that as a background 3 persons but 1 God would be a distortion because it interjects this idea that in the nature of God there is some separation, or distinction, or division which is not practical for these reasons : who are we praying to 1, or 3, when you get to heaven who are we going to see, are we going to see 1, are we going to see 3. That makes a difference who is our faith in and the significance of the name of Jesus. We need to understand because when we pray in Jesus name we expect demons to be cast out ( Mark 16: 17 ); ( Luke 8:26- 29 ); ( Acts 19:13- 17; 16:16- 29; 8:9- 22 ), people to be delivered, and healed ( Matthew 9:2, 22 ); ( Acts 3:6; 19:11, 12 ); ( Mark 16:18 ), and receive the Holy Spirit ( John 20:22 ); ( Acts 2: 4, 38; 19:2- 6 );( Romans 8:5- 8;16:25 ); (1 Corinthians 2:14 ); ( Galatians 1: 12, * 1:8, 9 ). But if the emphasis is on Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the name of Jesus isn't magnified and we don't receive what God wants to give us. So there are a lot of practical reasons we need to know the answer to this question and if there is any message in scripture that's emphasized it's in ( Deuteronomy 6:4 ) Hear o Israel the Lord your God is 1 Lord , and said by Lord Jesus in ( Mark 12:29 ). This 1 you have to get right.

Every single explanation in defense of the trinity uses the exact same tactic of placing human limitations on God and of judging God from a human's perspective. It is like clockwork. This explanation first ASSUMES facts that are not at all facts when it claims that God is MORALLY DEFECTIVE? because He doesn't "exercise the attributes of love"? First of all, God CREATED morality. HE and ONLY He defines love and we are not even close to any position of judging Him, or how He does or doesn't do anything. WE do not define these things and then decide God can't be this, or can't do that, because OUR "contrived" definitions don't allow for it. That is not only nonsense but ARROGANCE to the highest degree. We are to take what the Bible teaches and we make THAT our Truth. We accept THAT as the definition of morality and of love. God exercised the greatest love possible with ALL that He has done for mankind. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, makes God out to be ONE single, solitary, individual. There is NOTHING, and no one, above Him in any way, shape or form and He declares that He shares His glory with no other person. (Isaiah 42:8) If anybody wants to hold fast to any popular concepts concerning God or the Bible today, I highly suggest they find the plain teachings of them in God's Word.

@@kimmykimko no you are mistaken. It never says there are three person ever. It also never says God the son but rather the son of God. Isaiah 9:6 says the child (Jesus) is the almighty God and everlasting father. Go read it.

[@besidethestillwaters948]

then why did the Apostles preach not teach the trinity nor did none of the Prophets of old. trinity came around the 3 or4 century and scripture itself tells us that God is one. because most do not understand how God functions as one is what brought trinity into play in the first place. i do not believe the trinity nor do i believe oneness . this is what i believe Deuteronomy 6:4-15 King James Version 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: 5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: Isaiah 44:6-8 King James Version 6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. 7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. this by itself say it all.

[@bobjames3748]

You were on a falls Church I bet you believe that Jesus is not the One True God.. see Isaiah 9 and 6 Revelations 4 and 8, Revelations 11 and 17 16 and 5 and 19 and 16. Now tell me who is being spoke of in Zech 12:10? See if you can figure that out!

[@kimmykimko]

Yes

[@michelhaineault6654]

Pentecostal are not the truth but their oneness (modalism) doctrine IS TOTALLY BIBLICAL. God name is I AM and not WE ARE and this name is eternal and Jesus is I AM being God manifest in the flesh....

[@kimmykimko]

How can modalism be true if Jesus was on earth, the Spirit was descending on Him like a dove and a voice from Heaven was saying "this is my beloved son in who I am well pleased?"

[@michelhaineault6654]

@@kimmykimko the dove was A VISION for John the Baptist as prophecy in : Jonh1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is not a bird ! Did Jesus came for to be baptize by he Holy Spirit of for to baptize in the Holy Spirit ?

Not true! It's not a heresy. The Trinity is a heresy.

[@kurtbansag935]

How's is that? Jesus said baptize them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy ghost.

[@besidethestillwaters948]

@@kurtbansag935 and that name is Jesus Christ. none of the Apostles that did Baptized sad i baptize you in the name of the father in the name name of the son and in the name of the holy spirit . they said Jesus Christ or Lord Jesus. this is why the trinity is so effective in the world today, and because most people dont study to show thyself approved nor do they search the scriptures as Jesus commanded

[@elib9002]

@@kurtbansag935 that's a great question. Given that no one was baptized into the holy ghost first except Cornelius family Who received the holy ghost, and then we're baptized in Jesus name. The point here is not to be baptized under the name of each God head person. It is to first be baptized into the following of God, then under the name of Jesus by whose blood we are saved, then in the Holy Spirit for Power unto the good works of God. This is why webare to baptized in the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost. Just remember what Jesus said about being God. He told Mary in the garden "Do not cling to me for I have not yet ascended into my Father and your Father, my God and your God. Does God have a God or does the heavenly Father have a heavenly Father? This isn't Mormonism we are talking about here bud.

[@Fr4nkSanchez]

@@besidethestillwaters948 That is not true at all. The only reason people is not saved is because they do not have faith in the gospel. Oneness creates confusion because I do agree there is only one GOD and there are three manifestations (why if there are three oneness does not accept tri) what I dont agree is that they teach Acts 2:38, there are dispensations in the bible, Peter preached to Jews, Jesus talked to Jews, Salvation was only for Jews. However, Gentiles were saved too, we see Cornelius but why he received the Holy Ghost before baptism? This was revelead to Paul, we are saved by the blood Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

0:51 - "Love always requires a lover and one who is beloved and a witness to that love." But the greatest act of love is to *lay down one's **_own_** life* to save others (John 15:13). And that's what the one true God - God _the Father_ - did. He came down from heaven, without leaving heaven, and manifested himself on earth as _his own_ flesh-and-blood Son, so that he _himself_ could go to the cross for us, shed _his own_ blood for us, lay down _his own_ life for us, and raise _himself_ from the dead...to give eternal life to all who believe on _him._ And _his_ name is the name which is above _every_ name: Jesus. For *God [the root of David]* so loved the world, that he gave *his only begotten Son [the offspring of David],* that whosoever believeth in *HIM [JESUS, the root **_and_** the offspring of David]* should not perish, but have everlasting life. *"I JESUS...I am THE ROOT **_and_** THE OFFSPRING of David..."* (Rev.22:16)

[@andys3035]

There is not 1 scripture that says the Father was manifest in flesh.

[@chuck753]

Before me there was no God formed neither shall there be after, beside me there is no saviour. John 3:13 no man hath ascended up to heaven accept he that hath come down from heaven even the Son of man who is in heaven. That's what he told Nicodemus the ruler of the Jews. Nicodemus I'm here before you and I'm presently in heaven. How could he say that because Jesus is the Almighty manifested in the flesh. The word made flesh and dwelt among us. For unto us a child is born and unto us a son is given and his name shall be called wonderfully counselor THE MOGHTY GOD the EVERLASTING FATHER THE PRINCE OF PEACE. THERE IS ONLY ONE EVERLASTING FATHER, ONLY ONE MIGHTY GOD. REVELATION 1 in red letters Jesus said I am the alpha and Omega the Almighty! You can't separate God into person's. Only manifestations but all the same person. Hath not one God created us all why do you deal treacherously one with another. Colossians 1:15 tells us plainly Jesus Created everything

@@BibleAnswerMan Trinity not biblical, wasn't the true Orthodoxy and is a murdering church, both Catholic and Protestant. I have posted enough responses against it. Scripturally you rape from Jesus his complete Deity, historically the proof is that Monarchians were holding Bishoprics in Rome, Antioch, Smyrna, Africa and most assuredly Jerusalem where Jewish thought was against the idea in 1st and 2nd. century. You people struggle to find anyone teaching such idea a conjuring up the word Trinity till ca 210 a.d. by Tertullian. How then was Monarchians the majority of believers and holding the Bishopric of Rome till 222a.d.? You people at CRI have done poorly from Walter Martin, Robert Bowman and yourself, most the time telling untruths. I can't even get one Trinitarian to tell us who God is in John 1:1 . Walter Martin years ago came up with false idea that pros ton theon meant face to face, it didn't! It meant in things pertaining to God in all the other places it was mentioned in N.T. Bowman did poorly versus Robert Sabin TWICE! How is it you people can mess up Jesus name baptism, Biblical Salvation, Oneness of God vs your Trinity, have absolutely no Holiness left in your churches save we count Amish or German Baptists, and then Catholic Mother of Rev.17:5 killed millions and Protestants killed ,just not in the same numbers.
