In order to understand modalism, one must
understand four essential and key terms.
These are mode, modal, modalism and
modalist (Bourgeault, 2013). According to
this theological perspective, the Father, the
Son and Spirit do not exist together in an
eternal way.

Some of the key people in this Trinitarian
formations are Arius, Athanasius, Constantine, The
errors in this context are Arianism, Semiarianism
and Monarchianism. According Modalism, these
three beings generally three succesors of each other
as manifested by Holy God. This modalism is
mainly a form of Unitarianism (Noble, 2013). This
denies the fact that God is not triune in his inner
self. In this mode, Christ is not recognized as an
independent person inherited from God. These are
the three ways or three embodiments by which God
is revealed.

An important component of this context
is Tritheism. This means that Holy
Divinity was mainly composed of three
powerful entities. They are the Father,
the Son and Holy Spirit (Bourgeault,
2013). These three Gods are looked as
three embodiments who have three
separate domains. Most Christians
believe that this world is not tritheistic.
This os entirely different from the belief
of monotheism and dual perspectives
between God and Satan.

to 325 BCE.
Scriptures like New Testament has believed in the triad
existence of Gods.
Stoic philosophy had developed after 225

According to Tertullian philosophy, it has
been believed that all real things in this
universe are material and the Holy triad of
God is only transitional.
Between 325-381, the development of Arianism gave
birth to new issues regarding the existence of Holy
Trinity.
A council of Bishops proclaimed that Father and Son
were not other embodiments. Rather they belonged to
the same substance as they were called by Emperor
Constantine.
