  • Confusion
  • Perhaps they think that the AP are the latest denomination to follow the JW in abandoning the Trinity as having no basis in the Bible. After all, the strongest group of Jesus-lovers (and perhaps the largest) have long gone back to the strict monotheism of Prophet Abraham as found in the OT and as preached by Jesus himself - the Lord our God is one God and not a 'Father/Son/Holy Spirit' trinity. I am, of course, referring to the Muslims.
  • well it is the father,son,holy spirit all one it is in the bible there is no trinty at all! god himself came in the flesh as jesus and that is it belive it or deney it..............
  • Apostolic Pentecostals's are nothing like JW's & definitely nothing like trinitarians. AP's are completely monotheistic, they believe in 1 God indivisible, omniscient, omnipresent. Jesus Christ is the manifestation of that ONE God in the flesh as prophecied would occur in the old Testament. To explain the relationship between a God who is a Spirit and then the son who is a human think of a glass of water in the ocean. THe vessel (the body of Jesus) is the glass. Still wholly God, but still wholly human. Jesus said before He ascended He would not leave us without a father (orphans), that HE would come to us. Which He did on the day of Pentecost in the form of the Holy Spirit. The trinity divides God into 3 co-equal, divisible, co-eternal 'persons' God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. The Nicean creed ratified in 325 AD was the point at which the trinity began to flourish. Look at the history books.. there were no direct links to the apostles or disciples represented. Just like the Muslim faith Apostolic Pentecostals believe that the trinitarian faith is Polythesim, therefore anti-God.
  • why do muslims hate jews... why do catholics and protestants argue... why is the night hiding from the day... everyone argues and says foolish things from time to time
  • I believe that they say this because the APS' believe that Father/Son/Holy Spirit is too vague a term to identify a powerful God. I am praying to understand completely what the truth is. I just don't believe that the Father's name is Jesus, the Son's name is Jesus, and the Holy Spirit's name is Jesus. I've been given examples of if you were calling a deacon and his name was Don, instead of saying come here deacon you'd say, come here Don. Makes sense, but I can also use my own example of My father named Larry, fathering me, and then I take a part of me and give it to someone. I don't see how that makes my name Larry and my child's name Larry because Larry fathered me. I know my father wasn't a god :) Now I believe that God's name is Jehovah, His Word was covered in virgin, but sinful flesh (flesh can't be saved) and that Word became flesh and God whose name is Jesus, then when Jesus rose again, He sent us His Spirit, who is named Holy Spirit. Listen, I'm trying to work this out without arguing because I'm trying to get a real, life-saving understanding of exactly what I am believing here and what I am basing my salvation on. I also want to say, that I believe that when Jesus said that I and my Father are one, I believe that He said it in the same sense as when He said that when a man and a woman get married the two become one flesh...that 3-fold cord kinda becoming one. I take that to mean spiritually. I know that God and do anything, but what purpose would it serve for Christ to be sitting beside Himself in glory making intercession with Himself. I believe He sits on the right hand of Jehovah (I don't believe the Jehovah's Witness'doctrine - I'm speaking of Jehovah in the sense of Jehovah Nissi etc.) Now, I feel that there are some truths in both views, but to reiterate, I just want to know that truth.
  • "here oh isreal the lord thy god is ONE acts 2:38 Repent And be baptized everyone of you in the of jesus christ for remision of your sins! Trinty will try to say that because peter said it and not God himself it does not matter... did god not give peter the keys to the kingdom ? Ephesians 4:5 - One Lord One Faith One Baptism
