It makes it easy when we can categorize people. However, each human being believes what he or she believes. Here is what I believe:watchman F said:Trinitarian teach... That there is one God who eternally exist in three persons namely the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit they are one but separate. One in essence but separate in personhood. The Father is not the Son, or the H.S. The Son is not the Father nor the H.S. and the Holy Spirit is not the Father or the Son yet they are all one God and not three.
Modalist teach.... That there is one God who revealed Himself in three modes or offices. In Creation and the O.T. as the Father in the incarnation as the Son, and now as the Holy Spirit. God is one person but has three functions like a man who is a father, son, and husband.
I believe in the Oneness doctrine, which is neither trinitarian nor modalist The teaching of Oneness is this....
#1 The Father is God, Jesus is God, The Holy Spirit is God.
#2 However Jesus Christ is also the Father and the Father is the Holy Spirit.
#3 In other words there is one God the Father, who came in a body (the Son) and who is the Eternal Spirit (the Holy Spirit). So we teach that the Father came in the flesh as Jesus, and is a Spirit ''The Holy Spirit''.
#4 So it is similar to the Trinity doctrine in that we have 3 who are one, but Oneness doctrine says that the 3 ''persons'' are not separate, but actually the same 1, who is God.
There is one God. I call him “Father.â€
Father decided he needed to come to earth in the form of a human being to teach us and die on the cross. He became Jesus, but was still Father. He is omnipotent and was able to do both things at the same time.
Father speaks directly to us, in his special way. When he does so, he is the Holy Spirit.
