THE TRINITY: ONE GOD...THREE PERSONS! Statement of Faith We believe the one true God has revealed himself as being the eternally self-existent Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed himself as a Trinity, that is, one Being existing in three Persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

THE TRINITY: ONE GOD...THREE PERSONS! Three persons…One God. God the Father is the Source of all - the absolute. He is unknown unless revealed by the Son (Matthew 11:27; John 1:18; 14:9). He is unapproachable except through the reconciliation of the Son (John 14:6).

THE TRINITY: ONE GOD...THREE PERSONS! Three persons…One God. God the Son is the Second Person of the Trinity. The Son is the eternal Word, the Logos of God, who was God and was with God from eternity (John 1:1,2; Phil. 2:6; Col. 1:18-21; Col. 2:9). Of like nature and possessing similar attributes, He is subordinate to the Father only in position. As the Executor of the Trinity in redemption, the Son fulfilled the redemptive plan of the Father.

THE TRINITY: ONE GOD...THREE PERSONS! Three persons…One God. God the Holy Spirit is the present Agent of the Trinity in the world. He is a Person, and personality and powers are attributed to Him. He speaks, He wills, He is grieved, and He does God's work in the world. (1 Cor. 12:1-13)

THE TRINITY: ONE GOD...THREE PERSONS! Deviations from the Trinitarian Doctrine. The third century saw two main camps of deviation: a. Arianism. Taught that Christ was created and thus not eternal, nor divine. b. Sabellianism. Argued that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were not three eternally existent Persons, but simply three aspects or manifestations of God. The modern “Jesus Only" teaching is a form of this error.

THE TRINITY: ONE GOD...THREE PERSONS! Deviations from the Trinitarian Doctrine. Unitarianism holds to the Oneness of God, but reduces Christ to an ethical teaching. The modern liberal and the existentialist are in this category. All, in essence, deny the personality of God.
