They deny it but yes their doctrine forces this consequence upon them.

Either way is NOT the doctrine of God preached by the Apostles.
So....how does this differ from the "3 manifestations" theory?

I believe that same Lamb who lived a perfect life one without spot and blemish gave Himself up to the joy that was set before Him so that we can walk in newness of life with His perfect shed blood. I believe that same Lamb rose again after 3 days through the same Spirit that overshadowed Mary. The Holy Spirit.

I believe this Lamb was prophesied in the Old Testament and is the Messiah that Jewish people waited and many missed. Because He did not fit with their thinking.

I believe that this Lamb was fully man and yet fully God. He testified to this throughout the Gospels. He said He was the "Son" and also said He was the "I am". I worship one God and His Name is above all Names and that Name is Jesus Christ.

I am not required by God to have a full understanding of the Godhead for my Salvation, if that was the case nobody would stand a chance because our finite mind can never grasp the beauty and fullness of the infinite Godhead.

If I could fully understand the Godhead then my God is too small.

So what do you think do I believe in 3 Gods?????
I don't think anyone really believes in 3 Gods, no. I think you are right that the words we try to use to define God fail us.

I believe that there is one Spirit, and that one Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus, and is also the Holy Ghost. The Father of creation, the Son in redemption, and the Spirit indwelling believers.

Trinitarians believe in 3 distinct separate beings... They can say one god all they want but they believe in 3 gods .

Re: All Trinitarians are Lost!!!!!!!!!!!

Could OPs define God as One Spirit with 3 personas, if persona is defined as a role? Because God does play different roles, correct?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyposta...y_and_religion)
The Christian view of the Trinity is often described as a view of one God existing in three distinct hypostases/personae/persons. The Latin "persona" is not the same as the English "person" but is a broader term that includes the meaning of the English "persona."

This is it! But the problem with Trinitarians, in my opinion, is that they don't bother to explain it like this, and instead end up making the Godhead sound like a 3-way committee. Oneness people then see it and say "They believe in 3 GODS!!!"

Thank you, navygoat1998, for taking time to explain it.

See this is the problem the created is trying to define the Creator. That's not correct thinking.

I don't need to define the Godhead, I have need for the Godhead to define and change me.
