There is one God, who has revealed Himself as Father; through His Son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man.

- Oneness Pentecostals teach one God revealed as Father, through the Son, and as the Holy Spirit.
The United Pentecostal Church International says there is one God revealed as Father, through his Son, and as the Holy Spirit by emanation, and that Jesus is God manifested in flesh. That is not the Trinity’s three persons.
