FAQ # 198

QUESTION  198 :  Oneness apologists claim that John 5:43 shows that "Jesus" is the Father's name and thus that Jesus is the Father. “Notice that the second part of this verse insinuates that one who comes "in his own name" is not to be "received."  If Jesus was actually the Father, which would literally make His name Jesus, then He would have been coming "in His own name" and it would have been wrong to receive Him.  This contrast between "My Father's name" and "his own name" proves that Jesus did not come "in his own name." Therefore, "Jesus" is not the  Father's name, and Jesus is not the Father. This turns out to be a  proof text against oneness theology” (Pastor Roger Griffith of Bosque Farms Assembly of God, joywell.org). Isn’t that so?

John 5:43 reads, "I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."

See the above FAQ (197), it thoroughly explains this, with even an example of the 2004 American presidential election niche line, “I approve this message.”

Pastor Roger Griffith also said, Oneness claim that John 10:30 proves the Father and the Son are one person. John 10:30 read, "I and my Father are one." This is also explained in the above FAQ (197).
