Fortman, Edmund: The Triune God ... They do not speak in abstract terms of nature, substance, person, relation, circumincession, mission, but they present in their own ways the ideas that are behind these terms. They give us no formal or formulated doctrine of the Trinity, no explicit teaching that in one God there are three co-equal divine persons. But they do give us an elemental trinitarianism, the data from which such a formal doctrine of the Triune God may be formulated. To study the gradual transition from an unformulated Biblical witness to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to a dogmatic formulation of a doctrine of the Triune God, we look first to the Eastern Church where most of this development took place. The Apostolic Fathers were witnesses to the Biblical data and the traditional faith rather than theologians, but they furnished useful insights into the lines along which the Church's unconscious theology was developing. Most of them indicated quite clearly a belief in the divinity of Christ, less clearly a ... ... https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-Fortman.htm

Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division In a historical trial in Waterloo, Iowa in 1951, the will of one who had left large sums of money to Christian charities was contested. In it, three Protestant clergymen were asked: "What is a Christian?" They responded by defining a Christian as one who believes in the Apostles Creed, the Holy Trinity, in God, the Divinity of Christ, and who subscribes to a confession of faith. Notice this definition denies to those refusing to accept the Apostles Creed and a denominational confession the name Christian. By it neither Peter nor Paul would qualify as a follower of Jesus, since such creeds were unknown in the First Century. In the decades following the death of John, the last living apostle, the early Church faced a difficult problem. False doctrines such as Gnosticism and Monticism plagued the body of Christ.

The Historical Development of "Arian style" (Jehovah's Witness ... Thus two currents of thought and belief began to stand out. One read the Biblical witness to God as affirming that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three who are equally God and somehow one God. The other read the Biblical witness differently and concluded that Christ, although divine to some extent, was not equal to the Father in divinity but somehow an 'inferior god.' This set the stage for Arius, one of the pivotal figures in the development of trinitarian dogma. The idea of a 'diminished god' he found repugnant. Christ, he declared. must be either God or creature. But since God is and must be uncreated, unoriginated, unbegotten, and the Son is and must be originated and begotten, He cannot be God but must be a creature. And thus the subordinationist tendency in the Apologists and Origen reached full term. Now the Church had to make its faith and its position clear, and it did this at the Council of Nicea in 325. the first ecumenical council.

Major errors of Pentecostalism ... Too much of an emphasis on the Spirit runs the risk of planting seeds for a renewed modalism, i.e., the idea that we do not serve a Trinity, but one God who has worn 3 masks: the Father in the Old Testament, the Son while Jesus was on earth, and now the mask of the Holy Spirit. Modalism, which is the prominent feature of United Pentecostalism, has soundly been condemned throughout Church history (and by the Assemblies of God in their Statement of Fundamental Truths). Remember: modalism is HERESY. 2. IS THERE ENOUGH OF AN EMPHASIS ON SCRIPTURE? If the Bible (and its truth) is not emphasized enough, it is LIKELY that whatever is occurring will degenerate into heresy. 3. IS THERE UNCRITICAL ACCEPTANCE OF WHATEVER IS GOING ON? 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 tells us (in the context of dealing with issues like prophecy) to examine everything carefully. 1 John, right after mentioning that the Holy Spirit bears witness of Jesus, tells us to test the spirits to see if they are from God (1 John ... ... https://www.bible.ca/tongues-pentecostal-errors.htm

TRINTITY: 6 Different ontological views of God Examined and defined We really have no right to inquire about things that God has not revealed. Duet 29:29. The Nicene creed, for example, tries to explain God in metaphysical terms. They debated whether Jesus had a divine or human spirit, whether Jesus was made up of the same "stuff" as the Father, or different "stuff". In fact they were trying to answer questions that went beyond what is revealed. We must therefore be content to know that God is one, yet three are distinct, the Son is uncreated and the Holy Spirit is a person.
