“I AM VERY TRINITARIAN.”

That’s good. Some of the Pentecostal anti-Trinitarian stuff gives me the willies.

Nitey night.

Yes, you're right, like the Oneness Pentecostals who reject the traditional Christian Trinity. Oneness adherents do not describe God as three persons but rather as three manifestations: they believe that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are manifestations or titles of the one, indivisible God. Oneness Pentecostals practice Jesus' Name Baptism, insisting that baptisms must be performed in the name of Jesus Christ, rather than that of the Trinity.

And the Word-of-faith and Creflo Dollar saying that we are little gods

Kenneth Hagin wrote that God "made us in the same class of being that he is himself," and that the believer is "called Christ" because "that's who we are, we're Christ!"[24] According to Hagin, by being "born again", the believer becomes "as much an incarnation as Jesus of Nazareth".[25] Kenneth Copeland says Adam was "not a little like God ... not almost like God ...",[26] and has told believers that "You don't have a God in you. You are one." Based primarily on the Psalms 82:6, which says "I have said, Ye are gods and all of you, children of the Most High"; this was also corroborated by Jesus making reference to this scripture in John 10:34.[27] A common theme in Word of Faith preaching is that God created man as "an exact duplication of God's kind." (Hebrews 1:3, John 14:12, etc.)[28] It should be noted that in all of this, there is no argument of man's ability to exist and operate independently of God but rather, the emphasis is on what the believer can become in God.[29]

And their Pentecostal belief that Jesus died spiritually

And, of course, you must not use the term Proddy, Quix. While Pentecostals are considered distinct from the Protestant groupings, it is nice to call them Protestants, not Proddys.
