Confusing indeed. The Catholic Faith forbids them from SAYING the things they are supposed to BELIEVE.

The problem with Oneness is that they have crafted a definition of person to exclude the Father, Son and Holy Spirit from being defined as one (which is why you find manifestations/personas/etc as a term to describe those 3 in oneness circles). There's alot of sematics going on here (not only but alot). So let's start with defining our term, what is your definition of person and why don't the Father, Son and Holy Spirit qualify as persons? |

There are not three persons in the Godhead. There is only one person. Aaaand the fullness of the Godhead dwelleth in Him. God is a Spirit (by definition not a person). The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is obviously not a person, but a Spirit. Jesus is the only person, and the fullness of the Godhead dwelleth in Him, bodily. |

Being a trinitarian minister before, and also listening to some others, they may tell you all the fancy words they want but in practice, they visualize it in their mind in two ways:
* There are three forms of the same God (some books even use the three states of water, gas, liquid and ice, as an illustration). These people are truly oneness in practice, modalist of some sort, and worship one God. * There are three persons with three different wills, and intellect, but the same nature. These ones are basically tritheist. They say, in an attempt to correct the other trinitarian brethren that you should worship God as a trinity. When I was trinitarian, I remember I would go Oneness in my worship without even noticing, but when I attempted to truly think it as a trinity to be correct, I remember struggling to worship and feel his presence, and a wrestling with the Spirit about it. It was very confusing, I still remember that to this day. Outside my worship, I contended for the Trinity, and denounced Oneness as false, I even contended in person with a Oneness missionary. |
