Or one God three persons simultaneously existing eternally - so, your best What is your understanding now? And I understand, there is some mystery - for sure. Would you say its One God manifesting Himself in three ways, or One God in three persons? Jakes: I believe that neither one of them totally did it for me, but the latter one is where I stand today. Driscoll: One God Three Persons? Jakes: One God – Three Persons. One God – Three Persons, and here is why…there… I am not crazy about the word persons this is…most people who follow me know that that is really. My doctrinal statement is no different from yours except the word… Driscoll: “manifestations” Jakes: Manifest instead of persons. Which you describe as modalist, but I describe it as Pauline.
