Pinkstergelovigen en de Drie-eenheid: Wat geloven zij?

• Pentecostal theology indeed encompasses varied opinions on the ontological concept of the 'Holy Trinity.' Some, especially those from mainstream Pentecostal assemblies, accept and espouse the trinitarian view that designates God as three distinct 'persons': God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
• In contrast, other factions, such as Apostolic Pentecostals or 'Oneness Pentecostals,' uphold a non-trinitarian viewpoint, positing that God is one entity who reveals Himself in three different manifestations – something commonly referred to as 'modalism.'
• Interestingly, these differing interpretations do not primarily stem from scriptural contradictions but more fundamentally from differing approaches to understanding the nature and being of God. The lens through which scripture is viewed profoundly influences the adoption of a trinitarian or non-trinitarian position within Pentecostalism.
• The contentions against the Trinity in Pentecostal theology primarily revolve around the concern that it could inadvertently advocate polytheism, by dividing God into three separate entities, thereby detracting from monotheistic beliefs.
