While McGrath’s comments should not be used to define the views of all Trinitarians, they do point out that Trinitarianism does not constitute Tritheism, the belief in three Gods. However, they might also be seen as contradicting the view of Hank Hanegraaff, that God is three

In the Oneness view, the Word, by the agency of the Holy Spirit, was joined with an ovum of Mary in her womb, producing a genuine, human life. But this was no ordinary human life. God himself, through his divine image or Word, was forever joined with this human Son. God had added humanity to his deity. The Word had become flesh, and the glory of the Word was beheld “as of the only begotten of the Father”, as described in John 1:14. It is here that the real distinction between the Father and Son from a Oneness perspective can be explained, thus dispelling common misconceptions that the Oneness Doctrine teaches Jesus was praying to himself in the Garden of Gethsemane. The Oneness view affirms that there was genuine communication and relationship between the man Christ Jesus and He who begat him. But this relationship was not brought about to placate any loneliness in God or a need on his part for offspring. This relationship was essential for the salvation of mankind. The Kenosis of Christ also necessitated limited, human means of communication with God on his part. He had to pray as any man would. At a certain point not recorded in scripture, this genuine human being understood his real identity. The glory that he would one day enter into already resided in him and three disciples would get a glimpse of it on the Mount of Transfiguration. Yet, Jesus as a man was distinct from his Father. He had a will of his own. At any time, he could have chosen not to drink of the bitter cup that awaited him and instead ascended to the throne. Had he done so, mankind would have remained estranged and unreconciled to God. While he could have been worshipped as God by the angels and saints who had already gone to Heaven, he would not have been our

OTCP does not have the courage to critique this essay and you lack the analytical ability, obviously. Charges of heresy demand a thorough explanation. You won't give one because any argument you'd give would also condemn half of Trinitarians. As my ASSEMBLIES of GOD professor who graded this paper stated to me, half of trinitarians are functioning tritheists. I'll count you in that number. James. Of course, my comments are based on the assumption that you actually read the essay. If you did, then you know I had some sharp criticims of the UPCI

It just seems at way, RS. Oneness doctrine is heresy. You mean your straw-man version of it is heresy. I would be willing to bet that you really have no clue what the Oneness doctrine is. Since my explanation contradicted your straw man view, you choose to ignore it and pretend the similarities to Trinitarianism are just illusions

RS, I have tried to fellowship with Oneness folks. I find more often than not, that I can accept them as Christians, but such acceptance is not often extended to me. In the truest since, God and the nature of God, can not be fully codified in to an all inclusive theological definitions. God gave the written Word, but the written Word does not, can not, contain an infinite God in its finite number of words revealed to finite man. What is clear is the plan (order) of salvation given by God.So, because I accepted Jesus Christ and received the baptism in the Holy Spirit (including speaking in tongues) before I was baptized in water, do you (they) accept me as a Christian? The minister who baptized me in water did it in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Did that invalidate my salvation?I hope in the future that the three that who bare record in heaven help my Oneness brothers to accept me as a Christian.
