I think a lot of man's theology is deliberate to confuse people.

God is a Spirit. The Holy Ghost is a Spirit and Jesus is incarnate and I don't know any "trinitarian" who will dispute that.

But almost all Trinitarians... especially the big Trinitarian Pentecostal organizations will use the word "PERSONS" in their Declaration or Articles of Faith. Though most of the laity would accept a Oneness definition of God, it's because the Godhead isn't taught in Trinitarian churches... and I know.

Furthermore, I have yet to know one Trinitarian that has ever believed 3 God's.

The issue all comes downt to 3 Persons.... and how you interpret persons in light of the original intent of that word, and it's modern day interpretation.

Brother Robbins, you make the same point I did, or at least I am trying to make. I am wondering why much of the leadership does not make an issue of their Article of Faith that contains the words three separate and distinct "PERSONS"? Especially if they do not believe it themselves?

Is it an "obey your pastor" type thing with them? They do not believe in three gods...they read the same scripture that God is a Spirit, Jesus is incarnate and we know the Holy Ghost is just that...Holy Spirit. Why don't they make it an issue to be straightened out?
