I will take from your reply [quoted above] that you DO TEACH that God is CONCURRENTLY:
Manifesting himself as the SON
while
Manifesting himself as the FATHER
while
Manifesting himself as the HOLY GHOST.
If I am incorrect that this is what you would teach, sorry, its the best I could do with your replies.

Just a note – here are a couple of creeds, and a doctrinal statement from the AOG’s someone mentioned – I see a vehement theme of “One GOD” – In this manner your assessment is seriously flawed, and without merit
- We believe in one God – Nicene Creed
- There are not three Gods, but one God. – Anthanasian Creed
- The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. AG Fundamentals of Truth
As is your understanding of words like:
Manifestations
Aspects
Persons
What is this hatred you guys have for the trinitarians? Did they enslave your parents or run over your dog or something? I think if your are going to make such claims of atrocities you should learn more about them – if not I’d shut that spicket off for awhile

I don't think OP's hate Trinitarian, but they hate the doctrine of the Trinity. I loathe it completely. It's a false teaching on who God fundamentally is and Trinitarians (not Chan) manipulate the word "God" and define God with 5 different meanings.
How can God say "I am" and be a Trinity? Makes absolutely no sense. According to Trinitarians only a "person" can speak and pray and love, etc....therefore how can "God" speak and say "I am"? as a collective unity? This is impossible according to their doctrine.
1. God can be representative of the Trinity
2. God is a nature (John1:1c)
3. The Father is God
4. The Son is God
5. The Holy Spirit is God
I understand their doctrine and the more I understand it the more I find it to be unbiblical. I can see how one might fabricate such a teaching but only in the light of the incarnation.

thank you Daniel for stating what Steve Epley teaches and understands.
So could you [Dan] also share for me how he [Steve] teaches that two simultaneously occurring (concurrent) manifestations satisfied the law concering the testimony of two being needed to establish a true witness?
Quote:
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.[John 8:17-18]

I can certainly comprehend your words pertaining to you. But if you extend YOUR words into a discussion pertaining to manifestations of God, you would have to say that God is BOTH the Father and God is also the Son.
Steve, are you a Father and are you also your own Son.
Can you comprehend this?
