1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,195
You know what we don't want?

2
00:00:01,195 --> 00:00:02,595
We don't want anybody in our church

3
00:00:02,595 --> 00:00:04,796
contributing to modalism.

4
00:00:04,796 --> 00:00:06,955
And we've had that in the past.

5
00:00:06,955 --> 00:00:08,752
And you know sometimes I think

6
00:00:08,752 --> 00:00:11,295
you don't have people that are 
trying to go wrong on the Trinity,

7
00:00:11,295 --> 00:00:13,036
but if you've ever heard somebody pray

8
00:00:13,036 --> 00:00:14,535
and they're addressing God the Father

9
00:00:14,535 --> 00:00:16,905
and they say, "Thank 
You for dying for us,"

10
00:00:16,905 --> 00:00:19,955
or something like that. I've heard that.

11
00:00:19,955 --> 00:00:22,105
Don't pray that way

12
00:00:22,105 --> 00:00:24,035
because that's not true.

13
00:00:24,035 --> 00:00:26,595
God the Father did not die for you.

14
00:00:26,595 --> 00:00:30,395
The Lord Jesus Christ died for you.

15
00:00:30,395 --> 00:00:31,764
We're not modalists.

16
00:00:31,764 --> 00:00:32,765
What's modalist?

17
00:00:32,765 --> 00:00:34,636
That's basically one person

18
00:00:34,636 --> 00:00:36,995
who presents himself to mankind

19
00:00:36,995 --> 00:00:39,596
in three modes or three forms

20
00:00:39,596 --> 00:00:41,785
or three manifestations.

21
00:00:41,785 --> 00:00:43,756
We have three personalities

22
00:00:43,756 --> 00:00:45,885
that love each other.

23
00:00:45,885 --> 00:00:48,576
Jesus isn't saying when He 
says He loves His Father

24
00:00:48,576 --> 00:00:51,327
that He loves Himself.

25
00:00:51,327 --> 00:00:54,146
There is love between these Persons.

26
00:00:54,146 --> 00:00:57,885
There's interaction between these Persons

27
00:00:57,885 --> 00:01:00,313
in the Trinity.

28
00:01:00,313 --> 00:01:02,786
And modalism is bad theology.

29
00:01:02,786 --> 00:01:04,686
If this brief excerpt has provoked

30
00:01:04,686 --> 00:01:06,044
