Does this fit into your theological construct of God?

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
cneasttx said, "The diagram is confusing btw.
God IS One. That's all we need to know."

I like the way the diagram explains the Godhead but I am not so sure that I like saying what God is NOT. If we as humans can barely understand the Godhead how in the world can we say what God isn't.
U376977 said, "In answer to your question about the diagram, I can see where one could argue both oneness and trinitarian. But I would say primarily trinity because it reminds me of the phrases (non biblical) of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit."

What if you said, instead of "Is Not" you said "Is Distinct From"?
The Father "Is Distinct From" the Holy Spirit, etc.
Maybe that is just my oneness theology showing through.
DG, I am totally OK with IS NOT. While being the same God, the Father is not the Son...

I am not sure. This is where I have a problem with oneness theology that I have been taught all my life. Scripture makes the distinction all throughout the bible. The language of the Father, Holy Spirit, and Son are all there and in plain sight so I am not making the distinction. The Bible does.
