To: one Lord one faith one baptism

**No he is not. But that doesn’t negate my point that the Father is not the Son and the Son is not the Father.**

I have never said that.

**Two persons, both are God.**

The only God there is,...is IN Christ. God is a Spirit. The Father is ‘God the Father’. The Son is the ‘Son of God’. That’s the way Jesus Christ and the apostles define the two.

**Having someone “in you” doesn’t make you that person.**

I have never said that either. That’s your incorrect understanding of the Godhead. God the Father is the source of all things divine. The Son is ‘of’ the Father. The Father is not ‘of’ the Son. While I’m pointing out the ‘source’, the Holy Ghost is ‘of’ the Father. Jesus Christ and the apostles never used the phrases ‘God the Son’ or ‘God the Holy Spirit’. I believe them not your church of ‘three Gods’.

The apostles KNEW the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and therefore baptized in the name of Jesus. I believe them. As far as I know, your church does not.

**there is a reason the Church rejected modalism in the third century and that there was no “Oneness” church prior to the 20th century. but the Scriptures warn in the latter days false prophets will rise and fool many.......**

Modalism is not a very good description of what ‘oneness’ means. The fact that you can’t really answer my positions on the Godhead, and baptism (just attack what you THINK I believe), just shows me that you are not rightly dividing the Word.

Jesus Christ said ‘few there be that find it’. Paul, Peter, and Jude, all said that false teachers were present even in their day. The ‘few there be that find it’ have always been present through the centuries. The 20 century simply enjoyed the coming of mass communications, and therefore ‘the few there be that find it’ are noised about much more than before.

On Pentecost, the devil immediately saw how the name of Jesus was used in baptism for the remission of sins. Do you honestly think he didn’t set about the have the NAME removed?

That’s what happens when all one does is repeat a command (Matt. 28:19), and not OBEY it as the apostles did: (Acts 2:38; 8:12,16; 10:48; 19:5).

Did Jesus Christ inherit his name? If so, who from?

When you must misrepresent what your opponent says and believes in a debate, it is proof of the weakness of your position or ignorance ( or both )
