This article was probably shared on NFCF, but I'll post it again for those that may not have read it yet.

I believe in one God who is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I believe these three have distinct and separate functions—so separate that each has individual attributes, yet are one. I do not believe in three Gods.

From time to time I see Christians make this statement but it is clear they have no idea what they are talking about. He says 'these three', but the question is three what?!?! What are they? He later says "manifestations", but what does that mean? He says this is not the same as modalism...so he does not mean manifestation in the same way a modalist would...

And then he says "....yet are one".. yet are one What?? What does that mean? Are they one person? Are they one thing? Are they one in essence and being or are they simply one in unity like the states of America are one nation?
