I am trying to figure out what a hypnotist as to do with the godhead!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
13. Theology. any of the three hypostases or modes of being in the trinity, namely the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Is this the correct definition, theologically?
So what is the difference between this definition and the idea of "Modalism"?
I vote will vote, "No."
Whatever definition we come up with, in order for it to be Biblically accurate, it should show that while the Almighty God was made flesh and dwelled among us, the Almighty God was still in Heaven.

Does the definition contradict that? It talks about God's three modes of being.

That wasn't the question. It was about the candidate definition given in post 1:
13. Theology. any of the three hypostases or modes of being in the trinity, namely the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
The question was "Is this the correct definition, theologically?"
But the question asks if the definition of Person is the phrase "any of three hypostasis". So then you are not asking if a Person is a hypostasis but rather is the definition of person that phrase

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
But the question asks if the definition of Person is the phrase "any of three hypostasis". So then you are not asking if a Person is a hypostasis but rather is the definition of person that phrase
Right. You got it. Now can you vote?

If the question is "is a Person the same thing as a Hypostasis?" then my answer is yes

So I was right the first time? The intent of your question is "Is a Person a Hypostasis"?
