Twisted Scripture Acts 2:38

Believing that there is only one person of the Godhead who manifests himself in three ways as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Oneness Pentecostals appeal to this verse along with Acts 8:16, 19:5, and Matthew 28:19 as support. In doing so they embrace modalism, an anti-Trinitarian heresy that was condemned by the Synod of Smyrna in AD 200. In fact, most world religions and new religious movements deny the Trinity and embrace some form of modalism. The Nicene and Athanasian creeds condemn modalism. The Scriptures are full of references to the triune nature of God (see Mt 3:16-17; Lk 1:35; Jn 14:26). More than sixty New Testament verses mention the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the same verse. The members of the Godhead are co-existent and co-equal, one in essence and yet three in person.
