The problem with Oneness is that they have crafted a definition of person to exclude the Father, Son and Holy Spirit from being defined as one (which is why you find manifestations/personas/etc as a term to describe those 3 in oneness circles).
There's alot of sematics going on here (not only but alot).
So let's start with defining our term, what is your definition of person and why don't the Father, Son and Holy Spirit qualify as persons?

Many of their leading apologists say that the word "person" in the ancient sense meant something more akin to a mask that an actor would put on, and that we should not confuse the modern use of "person" with the ancient. If that is truly the case, then what is their problem with us?
