T.D. Jakes is associated with several
troublesome teachings including the prosperity gospel and positive
thinking. For our purposes, though, we will look at his teaching on the
Trinity. Jakes has long been associated with Oneness Pentecostalism
which holds to an unorthodox position on the Trinity. This position is
known as Modalism or, historically, as Sabellianism.
Modalism holds that Father, Son and Holy Spirit do not refer to
distinct persons in the godhead, but to different modes of existence of a
single person. It teaches that in ages past God manifested himself as
the Father, during the incarnation of Christ he manifested himself as
the Son, and subsequently he manifested himself as the Holy Spirit. As
one of its key tenets it states that God cannot exist in more than one
mode at a time. Continue at Tim Challies
