Editing Sabellianism (section)

==Current opposition==
While Oneness Pentecostals seek to differentiate themselves from ancient Sabellianism, modern theologians such as [[James R. White]] and [[Robert Morey (pastor)|Robert Morey]] see no significant difference between the ancient heresy of Sabellianism and current Oneness doctrine.  This is based on the denial by Oneness Pentecostals of the Trinity, believing that there is no distinction between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.<ref>James R. White, The Forgotten Trinity (Minneapolis, MN: Bethany House Publishers, 1998), 153.</ref>   Sabellianism, Patripassianism, Modalistic Monarchianism, functionalism, Jesus Only, Father Only, and Oneness Pentecostalism are viewed by these theologians as being derived from a Platonic doctrine that God was an indivisible Monad and could not be differentiated as distinct Persons.<ref>Robert A. Morey, The Trinity: Evidence and Issues (Iowa Falls, IA: World Pub., 1996), 502–507.</ref>
