Part 3 The doctrine of God as it relates to the nature of His being is no small matter.  The first three centuries of Church history were consumed with this central issue.  In the second and third centuries, men like Praxeas and Sabellius argued that God was singular not only in being but also in person.  Sabellius taught that, like an actor wearing different masks on stage, God likewise assumed different modes at different times to manifest Himself to man.  In the Old Testament, God assumed the role of a Father; in the incarnation, the role of a Son, and in regeneration,...

Part 2 No movement ever existed in a vacuum.  From revolutions to reformations, whether political, social or religious, no movement ever begun in a vacuum.  Each was a product of their times, and it is no different when tracing the origins of the modern Oneness Pentecostal movement.  It too has a beginning that arose out of Classical Pentecostalism in the early 20th Century.   However, the heresies espoused by Oneness Pentecostals as they relate to the nature of God are not new.  Their denial of the Trinity in favour of a modalistic view of God did not have its origins...

Part 1 On the surface, Oneness Pentecostals have many similarities to mainstream Pentecostals, and that is what makes them so dangerous.  They affirm the deity of Jesus Christ, they believe in the continuing gifts of the Holy Spirit, they believe the Bible to be the inspired and infallible word of God, they believe in the literal Second Coming of Jesus Christ, they believe in the final judgment of the wicked and in a literal hell.  On the surface, one would not find a great deal of disagreement; YET four main fundamental beliefs set them apart from orthodox Biblical...

Part 3

The Book of Mormon is just under one and a half times larger than the New Testament. It comprises 15 books, which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints say were written by Nephite prophets.  The LDS Church believes that whilst the Bible documents the events of God’s chosen people, Israel in the Eastern Hemisphere, the Book of Mormon documents the lives of the Israelites inhabiting the Western Hemisphere, namely the ancient Americas.  Interestingly, much of what the LDS Church believes doctrinally is not actually found in the Book of Mormon but in the other writings of Joseph Smith: Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price.  Despite this, Joseph Smith said of the Book of Mormon:

“I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts than any other book.”

Joseph Smith was known for making bold statements, and the quote above is surely numbered among them.  As with any claim, it ought to be able to withstand scrutiny and examination.  In this teaching, the Book of Mormon will be held to the standard of modern science to see if indeed it is the most correct book on earth.
