with respect Jfrog, I really dont think you understand what trinitarians believe or what they are interested in....
Trinitarians speak of persons. not roles.
Modalism is expressly concerned with the ROLES that God has. Prax stated somewhere else, that the terms have to be defined to have any rational discussion of the topic. You cant simply redefine the terms to make it sound like you want it to.
