Bible Note: GStrecker: Are you trying to resuscitate a now dead issue at this Forum, the issue of Modalism or Oneness? After a long, heated debate over this issue, we have learned: Evangelical Christians agree with the doctrine of Trinity -- one God, three Persons; not, as the Oneness would have it, one God, one Person. We also learned Oneness (Modalism) is heresy. "Pentecostals do believe the Holy Spirit is a Person, just not a third person. God is a Spirit, and God is Holy." Correction: To be accurate the first sentence should read: "*Some* Pentecostals do believe the Holy Spirit is a Person, just not a third person." Actually, while some do believe this, some do not. However, the largest Pentecostal denomination in the USA DOES believe the Holy Spirit is a person, one of three persons who make up the Godhead. "God's name is Jesus." Correction: While Jesus is God, it is not quite accurate to say that God's name is Jesus. (Even IF it were true, God's name still would not be Jesus. Jesus who? Persons named Jesus have existed for many years and in many nations. Were they the Messiah, the Creator, the Redeemer, etc.? I don't think so. That's why He is identified in Scripture as Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus, or Christ. After the book of Acts, seldom is He referred to as merely Jesus.) "Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; And He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" Exod 3:13-14 "The bible teaches that the Holy Spirit IS the Spirit of Christ." Correction: What does that mean? That there are three Spirits -- the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Christ? |
