QUESTION 15 : You said works must be experienced after belief for one to be saved. And in the first chapter you said that works is being obedient to the Principles of the Doctrine of Christ.

QUESTION 16 : It has been said that one has to believe in the actual baptism of Jesus to be saved. Jesus baptism by John represents or was symbolic of the Jewish High Priest laying his hands on the sacrificial goat, which transferred the sins of the nation to the animal.

QUESTION 19 : James makes a demand in his letter, "But someone will say, 'You have faith, and I have works.' Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works" (James 2:18). James' question falls under the category of 'epistemology,' - of how we can know that something is so - versus 'ontology,' - of what is.

Can a person be born again without being baptized with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues? 3. Can anyone become a child of God without baptism in water and baptism with the Holy Ghost?” And if the answer to the above question is "no", would not that mean that all other “Christians” are still unregenerated and children of the devil?” (The Other Side of "The Other Pentecostals," M.

QUESTION 46 : How is it you speak of baptism as it pertains to its necessity for salvation or regeneration (being born again)? Didn’t Eph 5:26 clearly tell us that we are cleansed by “the washing of water by the word?” And doesn’t this occurs when we accepted Jesus? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 47 : If regeneration (born of water and spirit) is the agent used to cleanse us and make us save, how comes Jesus said to the disciples, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you” (John 15:3); And he earlier said to Peter “ye are clean” (John 13:10)?

But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things... Neither be ye idolaters... Neither let us commit fornication... Neither let us tempt Christ... Neither murmur ye, as some of them...and were destroyed...

But Didn’t even the Apostle John alluded to Matt 5:48 when he said, “And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure” (1 John 3:3).

QUESTION 64 : Christ said, “he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matt 10:22). How then are we sealed in salvation if only those who endure to the end can be saved?

QUESTION 71 : You said God came to the save sinners to repentance and not the righteous, taken from Matt 9:13; pointing to the “righteous” not needing repentance.

QUESTION 73 : According to Romans 11:21-22 we are the branches of God, grafted in by faith and can be grafted out. In Romans we read, “For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

QUESTION 77 : If Paul could have said, “I keep my body and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” (1 Cor 9:27), how much more me.

QUESTION 84 : Why is salvation so "easy" in the Bible? And if sinners must first believe "sufficiently" and cleanse themselves "sufficiently" in order to receive (as a reward?) the Holy Spirit, why does the New Testament portray faith and sanctification as the result, not the basis, of receiving the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:3; Rom. 15:16; 2 Thess. 2:13)?

QUESTION 85 : In chapter 5 on “What does Justification Means” and it’s FAQ, you said that we shall be equal with the angels, and superior to them; saying that we shall be equal in nature but superior in status.

QUESTION 86 : In chapter 5 (Justification) you said something like we become divine when born of the spirit, isn’t that incorrect, for only God is divine? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 87 : You said Justification is summed up in this verse, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord..." (Hebrews 12:14). Does this mean that if I don't have peace with my brethrens, I will not see the Lord; especially when he said, "If it be possible…" (Rom 12:18)? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 88 : The apostle John wrote of sin in 1 John 5:16, Clearly, there is sin that leads to death. Whatever type of death this is, is not clearly identified here. However, the eternal security teachers like to draw our attention to 1 Cor. 11:27-30. And to that they sometimes add the deaths of Ananias and Sapphira as specific examples of the sin unto death. To Them Death Is Always Physical. While it is undeniable truth that God gets so angry over sin that he kills people because of it, there is another truth related to this that the eternal security teachers will always deny—that sin can bring a Christian to his spiritual death, just like Adam and Eve died spiritually because of their sin, as God warned would happen (Gen. 2:17); God didn't kill them physically but they did die spiritually like he warned. From the eternal security perspective, when a person who was formerly saved would die physically, he will always go to heaven. How such people are living at that point is inconsequential, even if God would kill them physically because of their unrepentant heinous sins. This clearly spells out license for immorality (Dan Corner). Doesn't it? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 89 : Take 2 Timothy 2:13, "if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself." The proper understanding of 2 Tim 2:11-13 is if a Christian would disown (or deny) Jesus (as Peter did three times) and thereby show he is faithless at that point, God will remain faithful and disown (or deny) us, as Paul just wrote, which was a repeat of Jesus' teaching in Mt. 10:33. Isn't that undoubtedly so? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 90 : What does the bible saith about eternal security [or often called perseverance of the saints]? I'm a little confuse? Do the Church believe in eternal security?

QUESTION 93 : One has to endure to end to be saved as stated in James 1:12, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."

QUESTION 97 : Paul, the true grace teacher, knew the same horrible fate that occurred to Hymenaeus and Alexander could also happen to Timothy (who was certainly sealed by the Holy Spirit). Paul consequently told him what he needed to do to prevent this from happening to himself. So, as Hymenaeus and Alexander shipwrecked their faith, Paul knew godly Timothy could also have this happen to him (just like any Christian can). How much more us losing our salvation? Examples are from 1 Timothy:- “Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme” (1 Tim 1:18-20). “The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk” (1 Tim 1:5,6). [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 98 : Notice, "For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

QUESTION 105 : This verse is used to say some born again believers lost their salvation, "So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander. Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan" (1 Tim 5:14,15). Hence, lost their salvation, is that so? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 106 : Is Justification a license to sin or as Dan puts it, "your spiritual guard is not only down it is gone. You won’t ever need to guard against personal sin and its defiling abilities since you are already forgiven...even if you would turn to sexual immorality, drunkenness, thief, idolatry, lying, murder, etc;" or even as Todd puts it, "this doctrine allows people to commit every sin under the sun, without suffering any consequences for their complete lack of holy living?"

QUESTION 107 : 1 Corinthian 5:5 shows a man in the church, no doubts about it, who was sinning and lost his salvation, especially when Paul handed him over to satan; isn’t that so? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 108 : Seeing that we cannot loose our salvation, by Paul saying “All things are permissible” (1 Corinthians 6:12) means I can fornicate as a Christian; doesn’t it? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 109 : John 10:28 clearly speaks of God keeping the believers through Justification but someone oppose this verse and John 5:24 by saying, "It reads, 'My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they FOLLOW me' (10:27). This is the only type of person, the one that meets these conditions, that will "NEVER PERISH," according to the next verse! Did you notice the words, "they follow me"? The word translated "follow" is a PRESENT INDICATIVE ACTIVE in the Greek, which asserts something which is occurring while the speaker is making the statement. In other words, as long as we remain faithful and CONTINUE to follow Jesus, He will, indeed, assure us that we will "never perish," v.28. No such promise, however, is given here (or anywhere in the Bible) to one that would turn and start "to follow Satan" as Paul knew could and did happen (1 Tim. 5:15)! It clearly does NOT cover such. Some read into Jn. 10:28 the words, "under any circumstance" after the words "never perish," but they are NOT there! Jesus did NOT include them in his promise and neither should we!" Is this person correct? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 110 : Once a son, always a son. This argument is based on natural fact, then applied to the spiritual, which doesn't always hold up as truth. (UES adherents frequently make this kind of mistake!) This type of error can be demonstrated by the following facts: Before we became Christians, we were all "children of the devil" (Acts 13:10; 1 Jn. 3:10) and "sons of the evil one" (Matt. 13:38). In other words, the devil was our spiritual father (Jn. 8:44). However, this spiritual father-child relationship changed at the point of salvation, according to Scripture! Aren't you glad that spiritual father-child relationships CAN be ended? Therefore, it follow suit that our spiritual father-child relationship with God can also be ended – backslidden. Isn’t that so? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 111 : Is it true that you can live a sinning life and be saved as stated here, "Samson was sexually immoral and he's mentioned as a hero in Hebrews 11. Therefore, one can be sexually immoral, like him, and be saved?" [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 113 : I've seen where you have refuted correctly, those who they allege lost their salvation in the bible; especially the Old Testament figures who clearly weren't born again much more to lose it.

QUESTION 161 : You contend in several FAQ’s that none saw God, but several manifestations and representations in visions, but this contradicts your notion that God is only one person, as against three in one; for you said none saw God as three but one person. Hence, the same notion that you use to say God is one by not showing himself as three to the prophets in manifestations or visions, can be used to say that God is three, seeing that none really saw God but a representation. So then one throne with some one on it called God, in a vision, could just be a representation of the three, but in reality there are three thrones with Father, Son and Holy Spirit ruling as God.

QUESTION 168 : While I can readily understand the idea of God (one person) loving me to such an extent as to give his only begotten son (another person whom he loves very much --who came from his own ‘substance’) - even though he eventually got back his son in that he raised him from the dead (Gal 1:1), I find it a bit difficult to see or appreciate the love, if what happened was simply that God – Jesus Christ- who cannot die, appeared as though he were a man, pretend to die and then tells us that ‘In this was manifest the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him’ (1 John 4:9). A number of texts seem to make a distinction between Jesus and “the father,” Example:

1. Dan 7:13,14 -	“The son of man comes to the Ancient of days and receives certain things from him.”
2. John 6:38 -	“Jesus speaks of his will as being separate from the will of the one who sent him.”
3. Matt 26:39,42 -	Jesus asks for release from ‘this cup’ but says to the father, ‘nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt’ – separate wills.
4. John 14: 12 -	Jesus says “I go unto my father”- this suggests separate location at that instant.
5. John 14:28 -	Jesus says “my father is greater than I.” It is a bit difficult for me to see a person being greater or less than himself.
6. John 8:17,18 -	Jesus speaks of two persons bearing witness; himself being one and his father being another.
7. John 5:22 -	Judgment of man will be carried out not by the father but by the son - this speaks of exclusiveness of action.
8. Mark 13:32 -	Of “that day” not even the son knows, only the father – separate knowledge.
9. Mark 15:34 -	“My God, my God why has thou forsaken me.”
10. [ Psalms 2:7-12 -	“…kiss the son lest he be angry…” Apart of it is quoted in Acts 13:33.]
11. [ John 14:23 -	“My father will love him, and we will come unto him” – we suggests more than one.]
12. [ Heb 1:8-12 -	“But unto the Son he saith…”]
13. [ Mic 5:2 -	“Bethlehem …out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel.”]

QUESTION 172 : When you cross-reference Scriptures that show that Jesus is God, you then try to show that Jesus is the Spirit because other verses show that the Holy Spirit is God and you do the same with the Father.

It is quite easy to do the same thing with any person of the Godhead and form your own belief. This is a logical fallacy. I can do this with apples and oranges. 1. An apple is a fruit. 2.

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? [Click Here For The Answer]

Each one of these appellations would be labeled a title by Jesus Only interpreters, but Isaiah's text calls each one a name. This is also the one verse of Scripture in the entirety of God's Word where Jesus Christ is called the Father; and still, somehow, these people are blinded to the fact that the verse actually disproves their theory concerning titles and names, simply because it gives the name of "Father" to Jesus.

And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6). Some commentators prefer to translate "Everlasting Father" literally, as 'Father of eternity'. In accordance with common Old Testament idiom, the owner or possessor of a given thing is named 'father of' it: For example, Abialbon (2 Sam. 23:31), 'father of strength', means 'strong'; Abiasaph (Ex. 6:24), 'father of gathering', means 'gatherer'.

QUESTION 248 : Didn’t Jesus say after this exemplary daily prayer (Lord’s prayer) we should pray, “Give us day by day our daily bread.

QUESTION 264 : Is the phrase "baptized in the name of Jesus" simply Luke’s way to distinguish Christian baptism from other baptisms of the period, such as John’s baptism (which Luke mentions in Acts 1:5, 22, 10:37, 11:16, 13:24, 18:25, 19:4), Jewish proselyte baptism, and the baptisms of pagan cults (such as Mithraism)?

QUESTION 270 : When Paul asked the Samaritans “Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism” (Acts 19:3), did it mean “that Paul can’t fathom how someone could have heard the baptizer say, ‘in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost’ (Matthew 28:19), yet never even have heard of the Holy Ghost?” [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 272 : “If a burglar alarm were to start shrieking as you sauntered by, and a big old cop came lumbering down the street hollering 'Stop in the name of the law!', would you expect him to invoke the [singular!] name once he stopped huffing and puffing? When our cop comes lumbering down the street hollering, 'Stop in the name of the law!', it's less than obvious he doesn't mean by the 'name of the law' a proper name like 'Thurgood' or 'Earl'.

QUESTION 274 : I’ve seen references where, like Matt 28:19, “name of” (singular) is used for more than one person. Could it be that this verse was talking about three persons we are to baptize in the authority of? For instance, “if you have no cause for wishing this unhappy man to be afflicted with such a grievous calamity; if he has given up to you every-thing but his life, and has reserved to himself nothing of his paternal property, not even as a memorial of his father--then, in the name of the gods, what is the meaning of this cruelty, of this savage and inhuman disposition?" (Cicero For Sextons Roscius of Ameria 146). "But, in the name of the immortal gods! for while I look upon you, O Dolabella, who are most dear to me, it is impossible for me to keep silence respecting the error into which you are both falling..." (Cicero Philippics phil. 1.29). "What then, are we to do? In the name of the immortal gods, can you interpret these facts, and see what is their purport? (Cicero Philippics phil. 1.38).

QUESTION 275 : Is this sentence correct as written?: 'The mis-hit golf ball sailed wildly into the area cordoned off for spectators, striking the head of Mike, of Joe, of Charles, and of Bill.' Yes! '[H]eads' would be correct...only if these named worthies had multiple heads. It's the same with 'the children were told to bring an umbrella to the class outing, in case of rain.' 'Oneness' grammarians would insist this means all the children were expected to huddle beneath one solitary umbrella. Isn't that so? (thriceholy.net) [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 276 : As is discussed more fully below, the phrase ‘the name of...’ may be either self-referential: “And moreover the king’s servants have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ Then the king bowed himself on the bed” (1 Kings 1:47), or not: “And it shall be that the firstborn son which she bears will succeed to the name of his dead brother, that his name may not be blotted out of Israel” (Deuteronomy 25:6). The “name of his dead brother” isn’t “dead brother,” yet “the name of Solomon” is...nothing other than “Solomon” (thriceholy.net). Isn’t it? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 277 : One might say I’ve been arguing against a straw man, Matt 28:19, that is, the arguments are void seeing that Matt 28:19 was not in the original scriptures; hence, I would be arguing against nothing and even seems foolish. Also, if you argue that Matt 28:19 means one God as preached by Apostolics, then how is it a straw man? Or, could it be that the Apostolic sentiment was meant by the ones who penned Matt 28:19?

QUESTION 279 : The phrase "for the remission of sins," used by Peter in Acts 2:38, is also used to describe John the Baptist's baptism (Luke 3:3; Mark 1:4), but none supposes that his baptism literally washed away people's sins (why would they need to later be rebaptized? Cf. Acts 19:1-6). The word "for" in the Greek (_eis_) need only mean "with a view toward," for we know that the Jews baptized people "for" such things as "freedom," "God's justice," etc." Isn’t that so?

QUESTION 293 : I received the Holy Ghost about three months ago. I talked in tongues for hours and I don’t know how. That was then.

So I had this question in my mind so long......I've read tracts and all and I read places in the Bible where it says "pray in the spirit" and such....but how do you?

This verse is repeated verbatim in 2 Chronicles 18:22. Apparently, God deceived King Ahab's 400 "heathen" prophets so that God could destroy King Ahab, although God sent another prophet to warn Ahab that his "other" prophets previously mislead him by God's command.

QUESTION 360 : Let's jump forward to the Apostle Paul, the most prolific author in the New Testament. Paul admits that he sometimes "stretches the truth" to further the Gospel.

QUESTION 361 : Furthermore, what about taking the Bible literally? We're always told that God "breathed the Word", but the Bible itself seems to dispute the assumption of perfection. For instance, look at this verse in Jeremiah 8:8 -- "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie." Here, God admits that the Jewish scribes sometimes "falsify the word", which calls into question the integrity of the Bible's authors. Has anything else in the Bible been equivocated? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 362 : "In John 14 and 15 Christ is telling His disciples about the preeminency of the nature of God and the unity of triune composition. Jesus declared, 'And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you' (John 14:16,17). Our Lord here prays to the Father for the Spirit, and His awareness of triunity is quite apparent. In John 14:26 and 15:26 Christ uses the same formula, mentioning the three Persons of the Deity and indicating their unity, not only of purpose and will but of basic nature." Isn’t it so?

QUESTION 363 : "The birth of the Lord Jesus Christ as described in the accounts in Matthew and Luke show that the doctrine of the Trinity was not a later invention of theologians. Luke records, 'The angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God' (Luke 1:35). Since other passages of Scripture reveal that the term 'Highest' refers to God the Father, we have in Luke a concrete instance of the Holy Spirit, the Father, and the Son all being mentioned together in the supernatural event of the Incarnation.

QUESTION 366 : "The most serious weakness in the modalistic system of the (oneness) movement is its failure to recognize the subject-object relationship among the members of the Godhead... The very existence of an 'I'-'you' relationship denotes personality; and the followers of the (oneness) movement must either ignore or pervert these, and many other passages, to destroy the personal 'ego' of the members of the Holy Trinity... Therefore it is untenable to maintain the Christology of the (oneness) movement when the testimony of the scriptures is so clear. There is, according to the Scriptures, a Person (or Ego) who is called 'the Father' and who is designated as God (John 5:17-24). There is also a Person (Ego) who is called 'the Son' and who is designated as God (John ]:1,14). There is a Person (Ego) who is called 'the Holy Spirit' and who is designated as God (Acts 5:3-4). All three Persons are co-existent, and, in the unity of the Deity, are termed 'one God' (1 Timothy 2:5)." [Why is that so hard to understand?] [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 388 : Teachings such as this (Oneness) and others that attacked the Trinity, like that of Arius, motivated the early church to define Biblical teaching through the use of creeds. Trinitarianism didn't pop up all of a sudden at the time these creeds were written, but were in existence the whole time - the true church of Christ had always held to this teaching. There are the Nicene, the Apostle's and the Athanasian creeds, to name a few. These are not held as Scripture but were written simply to lay down the truths of Scripture clearly. Isn’t that clear? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 389 : We are striving for doctrinal unity in the Christian faith. Since that perfect unity is obviously not yet obtained, change is in order.

Or does He warn us against allowing compromisers to have their place in the church? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 390 : The Bible teaches that we are not to judge.

QUESTION 410 : Since God is a person, would not these titles (Matt 28:19) also be persons, therefore making them three persons?

QUESTION 418 : Oneness writers claim that Col. 2:9 proves that Jesus is God the Father and Holy Spirit. Since Colossians 2:9 says that the fullness of "the Godhead" dwells in Jesus, Oneness writers have argued that the Godhead is in Jesus, not Jesus in the Godhead. This either/or approach, however, causes the oneness interpretation of Colossians 2:9 to contradict their interpretation of John 10:38 where Jesus states, "the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father." Since "the Father" in oneness theology is "the Godhead," John 10:38 in their terms would mean that the Godhead is in Jesus, and Jesus is in the Godhead. When Oneness believers deny that "Jesus is in the Godhead," what they mean to deny is that Jesus is one [of the] person in a triune Godhead. Colossians 2:9, though, does not rule out that possibility. What it affirms is that Jesus is no less than the full and complete revelation of God's nature ('theotetos', "deity") in the flesh. While not all three persons of God are incarnate in Jesus, all of God's essence is incarnate in Jesus (Pastor Roger Griffith of Bosque Farms Assembly of God, joywell.org). Isn’t that so?

QUESTION 419 : “When pressed to explain Jesus’ prayers, some ‘Oneness’ Pentecostals assert that He prayed for our benefit, for show not in earnest: to set an example. Those who heard Him, they say, were watching someone pretend to carry on a telephone conversation with the button pressed down. Hearing Him cry: “O my Father,” they make the astonishing claim that God is a ‘hypocrite’, in other words a stage actor, who puts on various masks and disguises and pretends to carry on conversation. But would it not be hypocritical for God to condemn people for hypocrisy if He’s actually in that same line of work Himself?” In other words, was Jesus play acting? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 421 : You often say that our mediator is a man, pointing to the verse 1 Tim 2:5, “the man Christ Jesus.” However, we see the Holy Spirit, not a man, is also the advocator (mediator) in the use of the Greek word parakletos. Doesn’t that make two persons our advocator or the doctrine that a man (Jesus) is our advocator erroneous? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 422 : When presented with the salutation of “father and Jesus Christ” in most epistles, some oneness point out the fact that other verses say “God and father” (one), saying we are to think of the two persons here (father and Jesus Christ) as one person. Is that so? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 423 : "But you, do not be called 'Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your *Teacher, the Christ" (Matthew 23:8-10). On its face, this passage explicitly forbids the common 'Oneness' Pentecostal practice of calling Jesus 'Father', because Jesus, on earth, speaking to His disciples, told them not to call "anyone on earth" Father. Isn’t that So? [Click Here For The Answer]

QUESTION 424 : In the Greek, tou ("the") is used for each title, and each is separated by kai ("and"). This helps support the view that in this text three distinct individual persons are being spoken of: ...in the name of the (tou) Father and the (kai tou) Son, and the (kai tou) Holy Spirit. If the Greek text had been referring to only one person, it would have most likely read: ...in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. or, ...in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (bible.ca).

QUESTION 429 : Thomas Weisser adds, "The Logos of John 1 was simply the concept in the Father's mind. Not a separate person!" But Robert Brent Graves muddies the water even more by stating, "Only when we begin to take John at his word that God "became flesh" can we begin to understand the power and the authority of Jesus Christ." Hence, one group of Oneness exponents seem to be saying that the Word was the Father Himself, but manifested in the flesh (Paterson and possibly Graves) while others see the Word as simply the plan of God put into place at the opportune time.

QUESTION 440 : It seems to me your book illustrates Jesus as a suit of clothes. Did Jesus die on the cross, or was it simply a jacket?
