	Sabellianism - OrthodoxWiki
		Sabellianism, also known as modalism, is a heresy which states that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are different modes or aspects of one God, rather than three distinct persons.
		Sabellianism was embraced by Christians in Cyrenaica, to whom Demetrius, Patriarch of Alexandria, wrote letters arguing against this belief.
		The chief opponent of Sabellianism was Tertullian, who labelled the movement "Patripassianism," from the Latin words patris for "father", and passus for "to suffer" because it implied that the Father suffered on the Cross.

	"The Arian Controversy - Part I" by Ronald Hanko
		In fact, both the Bishop of Antioch, Paul of Samosata, and the head of the School, Lucian the Martyr, had been deposed around the year 270 for their teaching that Jesus, a man, was the adopted Son of God by virtue of the power of God in Him.
		Their teaching was carried on in the form of Sabellianism which taught that the “persons” of the Trinity were only different ways in which the One God revealed Himself.
		Neither do we hold a Son-Father, as do the Sabellians, calling him of one but not of the same essence (monooúsion kaì oúk homooúsion), and thus destroying the existence of the Son.

		In other words, John is not teaching the ancient heresy known as Sabellianism, which taught that Jesus and the Father and the Spirit are simply three different aspects of one person, i.e., Jesus is the Father, the Father is the Spirit, and so on.
		By the simple ommission of the article ("the", or in Greek, ho) before the word for God in the last phrase, John avoids teaching Sabellianism, while by placing the word where it is in the clause, he defeats another heresy, Arianism, which denies the true Deity of the Lord Jesus.
		It ignores a basic tenet of translation: if you are going to insist on a translation, you must be prepared to defend it in such a way as to provide a way for the author to have expressed the alternate translation.

	Part 1: The Early Church Fathers Declared "Oneness" (Sabellianism) Heresy
		The Oneness Doctrine appears to be biblical because only Scripture is used, though wrongfully, to support its tenets, declaring that Jesus is not only the Son but also the Father and the Holy Spirit, that is, he is the only person in the Godhead.
		In the middle of the third century, Sabellius was excommunicated and declared a heretic because of proposing the idea that there was only one "person" in the Godhead manifesting himself in different offices: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
		This heresy was named Sabellianism (and later modalism) after him, though the heretical doctrine did not last for very long.

		Although there are different forms of Monarchianism (Sabellianism), at the end of the day they each deny that God “exists” as three distinct “persons” (not to be confused with our fleshy conception of person).
		The doctrine of the Trinity certainly does not teach that there are “three Gods.” Instead we look to the scriptures and see several truths that are best summarized or articulated in the doctrine of “trinity”.
