“The Trinity – God in Three Persons” – Matthew 28:19-20

The Jesus Only Movement, or Oneness Pentecostals,
believes that Jesus is all three persons of God.

Matthew 3:13-17
However, at Jesus’ baptism, there are two other persons of God present and acting separately.

Matthew 28:19-20
“Name” in these verses should be understood to mean the name of God, who is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Praxeas was the author of a heresy known as Modalism, which states that God is one who manifests Himself at different times as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Romans 1:1-4
In this passage, Paul shows the interaction of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as separate persons.
