"A group of Mormons has created an
ad campaign apparently designed to convince Americans that the

Latter-Day Saints is not that weird and Mormons are kind of cool..."

False Teaching about the Trinity
"...try to deny the doctrine of the Trinity and you'll loose your salvation, try to understand it and you'll loose your mind." ~ Stanley Grenz
"The doctrine of the Trinity is truth for the heart. The fact that it cannot be satisfactorily explained instead of being against it, is actually in its favor; such a truth had to be revealed, no one could have imagined it." ~ A.W. Tozer
Tri-Theism:
Modern Example: Mormonism - Jesus was a created being and the Spirit-brother of
Lucifer, who became a god. Mormonism teaches that there are many gods and we too
can become gods.
Modalism (also Sabellianism, Modalistic Monarchianism):
Modern Example: United Pentecostal Church - "Jesus only", there is only one God
who manifests himself in three modes. God is essentially playing different roles
and the assumption is that in the Old Testament he revealed himself as the
Father, in the New Testament God reveals himself as Jesus, and in the church-age
as Holy Spirit.
Arianism (Dynamic Monarchianism):
Modern Example: Jehovah's Witnesses - Denying the deity of Jesus and the Holy
Spirit. Jesus was a created being adopted by God, and the Holy Spirit is simply
the power of God or a force..." full text:
