Theological Definition of "Person"?

Is this the correct definition, theologically?

So what is the difference between this definition and the idea of "Modalism"?


I vote will vote, "No."


Whatever definition we come up with, in order for it to be Biblically accurate, it should show that while the Almighty God was made flesh and dwelled among us, the Almighty God was still in Heaven.

Does the definition contradict that? It talks about God's three modes of being.
