If modalism is classically defined as the belief that God was manifest as the Father in the Old Testament, Jesus in the first century, and the Holy Spirit in present days... how is this applied to Apostolic Pentecostal beliefs?

Modalism is a term applied to Apostolic Pentecostals by those who do not have a clear picture of what they (AP's) believe about the godhead.

Modalism is probably the most common theological error concerning the nature of God. Present day groups that hold to forms of this error are the United Pentecostal and United Apostolic Churches. They deny the Trinity, teach that the name of God is Jesus, and require baptism for salvation. These modalist churches often accuse Trinitarians of teaching three gods. This is not what the Trinity is. The correct teaching of the Trinity is one God in three eternal coexistent persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
