  1. sabellian

    Sabellian refers to the doctrines of Sabellius, a third-century theologian, who proposed that God is singular and simply manifests Himself in different forms or modes, specifically as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - not separate persons within one Godhead, as in the concept of the Holy Trinity. Thus, Sabellianism, also known as modalism or modalistic monarchianism, is considered a nontrinitarian or antitrinitarian belief in Christianity.
