The Godhead vs. Oneness Pentecostalism
Many Bible Q-n-A readers are probably already familiar with John "Apostolic." He has been an active commenter on the Bible Q-n-A web site for some time and, most recently, has taken up the discussion of Holy Spirit Baptism. Please see the Holy Spirit vs. Water category for all the posts in that discussion.I am making this post as a starting point for another discussion between John and myself on the topic of the Godhead. John holds to the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine of the Godhead, which strongly rejects the Trinitarian view of the Three Persons of the Godhead. Because I believe the Trinitarian view to be the biblical doctrine I will be defending this position. I will not, however, be referring to my position as the "Trinitarian" position as the Bible does not use the term "Trinity," "Holy Trinity," "Trinitarian," or the like. I believe the term accurately portrays the biblical doctrine, however, the Bible uses the term "Godhead" and so that is the term I will use. I will show that the Bible presents the Godhead as the one true Divine Nature and that there are Three Persons possessive of that Divine Nature - Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).
John has started off the discussion with the attached document stating his position. Click here to download.
