I am a Oneness Pentecostal and don’t believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. I also don’t think the term “modalist” is an accurate description of what oneness people believe.

None of that now! The mind reading posters will explain to you what you believe and decide whether it’s allowable.

Would it be more accurate to rephrase my comment "As far as I know, among Pentecostalists, only the 'Oneness' groups are not trinitarian."?

Hello. Greetings.

Some background about me:
A former college roommate is Oneness Pentecostal (OP). At least four people in my Trinitarian church (C&MA) were UPC (United Pentecostal Church). One of my favorite radio shows is hosted by Irvin Baxter, a UPC pastor.

I think an OP/UPC person CAN be a born-again Christian, just for the record.

I say all this to say I that I can accept an OP/UPC person as a brother/sister in Christ.

BUT......

Can you tell me how you interpret this verse:

Matt 26:39

“And he went a little farther,

and fell on his face, and prayed, saying,

O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:

nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”

.
.
.
.
.
.

To whom was Jesus speaking and praying to in the garden when He asked His “Father” to have the cup pass from Jesus?

This is quite an honest question.

Thanks, in Christ.

why is it not accurate? Seriously. Modalism is the nontrinitarian belief that the Heavenly Father, Resurrected Son and Holy Spirit are different modes or aspects of one God. How would you describe the Oneness belief of the Godhead.
