Don't Pray Like a Modalist - Tim Conway

You know what we don't want?

We don't want anybody in our church

contributing to modalism.

And we've had that in the past.

And you know sometimes I think

you don't have people that are
trying to go wrong on the Trinity,

but if you've ever heard somebody pray

and they're addressing God the Father

and they say, "Thank
You for dying for us,"

or something like that. I've heard that.

Don't pray that way

because that's not true.

God the Father did not die for you.

The Lord Jesus Christ died for you.

We're not modalists.

What's modalist?

That's basically one person

who presents himself to mankind

in three modes or three forms

or three manifestations.

We have three personalities

that love each other.

Jesus isn't saying when He
says He loves His Father

that He loves Himself.

There is love between these Persons.

There's interaction between these Persons

in the Trinity.

And modalism is bad theology.
