Person of Christ in other Christian denominations

[prisonchaplain]

We know that Moses also saw the backside of the Father. So, where we disagree is that trinitarians do not believe the Father is resides within a corporeal body. So Stephen did see both the Father and the Son. He saw two distinct persons. The Father may not have been encased in flesh and blood, but then I'm not sure angels are either--yet people sometimes see them. So, on this matter, we're not in agreement, but not as far apart as some assume.

I find too that many LDS confuse trinitarian teaching with that of the Oneness Pentecostals. The latter say that God is "one in three." That is, God is one (Jesus), but MANIFESTS himself in three ways (as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). This is not trinitarian teaching. We believe that God is "three in one." That is, the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. They are three persons, but one God. That oneness is more than in purpose...that there is actual essence to their unity.
