Many Christians consider Oneness Pentecostalism to be just another Christian denomination.  On the surface, Oneness Pentecostals appear to be in line with orthodox Christianity. They claim to believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But a closer examination reveals that Oneness Pentecostals are anything but “Christian”.   Episode Navigation 03:35 - Overview of Oneness Pentecostalism 04:45 - Historical Overview of Sabellianism/Modalism 09:20 - Modern Day Sabellians 12:45 - Break 13:10 - Illustrating the Trinity 16:30 - Three Manifestations 20:25 - Trinity is not in the Bible 22:12 - Understanding Beings & Persons 23:50 - God is One - Does One Mean Singleness? 27:47 - The Shema - Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one” 28:55 - Defining Terms - Who is Jesus? 30:00 David Bernard - Oneness Theologian (The Son was a foreordained plan in the mind of God) 31:35 - Jesus Existed as the Son in Eternity Past 33:00 - T.D.

Boyd. Although we are recommending his excellent book on Oneness Theology entitled,"Oneness Pentecostals and the Trinity". We cannot recommend other work by this author. Gregory A. Boyd has embraced the heresy called Open Theism.  Unfortunately, Greg Boyd is guilty of what Glenroy Clarke has often stated, "Some people run hard away from one heresy, but they run too far to the other side and fall into the ditch of another heresy". In this case, the old axiom stands true. “A broken clock is right twice a day".
