You mean that from 200 AD when Sabellius began preaching his versian of monarchianism, all the way to 1441, there were followers of "Sabellian" theology? the answer........*drum roll*........ A RESOUNDING YES!!! There have been Sabellians (oneness) throughout the history of the "church".... PRAISE GOD!!!!

The Roman Catholic church did not exist at the time of Sabellian.
The use of this composite term in place of the simple Roman, Romanist, or Romish; which had acquired an invidious sense, appears to have arisen in the early years of the seventeenth century. For conciliatory reasons it was employed in the negotiations connected with the Spanish Match (1618-1624) and appears in formal documents relating to this printed by Rushworth (I, 85-89). After that date it was generally adopted as a non-controversial term and has long been the recognized legal and official designation, though in ordinary use Catholic alone is very frequently employed. (New Oxford Dict., VIII, 766)
Remember you are suppose to post resoruces!!!
And, just because a council condemned "Sabellianism" isn't proof there was an nourmous contengent of "Sabellians." Beside, what happen to this teaching if it was so wide spread? Did the gates of hell over power them?
