composed of three co-equal, co-eternal, co-existentPERSONS: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is one in unity.“2 Peter 1:17 says there is a Person called the Father, and He’sGod. Acts 5:3-4 says there’s a Person called the Holy Spirit, andHe’s God. John 1:1 says there’s a Person called the Word andHe’s God. You’ve got three Persons, and Deuteronomy 6:4 saysthere’s only one God. e logical conclusion is that these threePersons, somehow, are one God” (Walter Martin).e term “elohim,” which is used in Deuteronomy 6:4 forGod, is a plural term. e verse literally says “Jehovah(singular) our Elohim (plural) is one.” As Jehovah, Godspeaks of Himself as singular, but as Elohim, He speaks ofHimself as plural, because there is also the Son and the HolySpirit.Oneness doctrine is the ancient heresy of Sabellianism,which was taught by Sabellius in Rome in the third centuryA.D. e heresy was accepted by Demetrius, Patriarch ofAlexandria, Egypt, a hotbed of theological error.Oneness Pentecostals will use the term Trinity and theytake offense when charged with denying the doctrine of theTrinity, but they redefine the term according to their hereticaldictionary. For example, T.D. Jakes, senior pastor of ePotter’s House, was ordained at a Greater EmmanuelApostolic Church, which is Oneness Pentecostal, and he hasremained in association with the Higher Ground AlwaysAbounding Assemblies, which also are Oneness in theology.Jakes claims to believe in the Trinity, but he defines itaccording to Oneness language. e Potter’s House statementof faith says, “We believe in one God, who is eternal in Hisexistence, Triune in His MANIFESTATIONS, being bothFather, Son and Holy Ghost.” In an appearance on theElephant Room dialogue in January 2012, Jakes againaffirmed that he prefers the term “manifestations” rather than“Persons.” In that forum he claimed to stand part waybetween traditional Trinitarian doctrine and Onenessdoctrine and he doesn’t believe in making an issue of it.
