Ancient Monarchians and Trinitarians

I wonder why he did not say where A Bishop was, unless by Bishop he meant Jesus. We find a lot of peculiar statements like that in these articles of antiquity

This is where you're wrong. The True Church is the believers, the same believers that were in the Reformations.

That may be true, but he still believe that God was Triune.

It's claimed by Trinitarians though that the church was built on the rock and never fell and the proof of this is the doctrine of the Trinity, as though that is the only doctrine that is necessary, yet we are handed with the reformation supposedly restoring back the doctrines the Roman Catholic church corrupted... something I just never understood

Now, its your turn to show me where the ONeness church was during this same period of time.
