It’s not partisan to declare that social trinitarianism abandons Nicene concepts of divine Personhood.¹ It does. It adopts a completely different framework. Many non-confessional evangelicals likely adopt it unwittingly.

The doctrine of the Trinity tells us there is “One Being, three Persons.” Of course, it’s more complicated than all that, but we’ll leave it there! In this definition, what is a “person?” That’s a hard question. Two main views are common today; the classical model and the social model. The Church has traditionally held to the classical view. However, if you ask the right questions, you’ll likely find most Christians actually believe in the social model.
