I don't think they're "crypto" modalist ... the modalism is explicit, blatant, clearly stated.

"Father", "Son", and "Holy Spirit" are personal names, or at least identifiers of a relationship ... thus implying distinct persons.

Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier, Liberator, and Sustainer are all job descriptions. That's modalism right there, whether intended or not.

The folks who use such "doxologies" are heretics.

The reason I called them crypto-modalist is that I'm not sure the people who cooked them up really intended to promote modalism, or really hold a modalist view.

I think they intended to promote the denigration of masculinity in general and fatherhood specifically. (Not that that's much of an improvement over modalism or anything. ;-))
