The '''Oneness''' doctrine is a non-[[Trinity|Trinitarian]] heretical view of the [[The Godhead]] that was rejected by the church in the third century AD.  It is the fundamental belief of a small minority of Pentecostal denominations and most churches that follow William Branham.  However, those message churches that follow the teachings of '''[[Vaylism|Lee Vayle]]''' and '''[[The Jackson Camp|Junior Jackson]]''' have a view of the Godhead that appears to be a mixture of several heretical teachings that originated well over 1,000 year ago, namely [[Nestorianism]], [[Arianism]], and [[Dynamic Monarchianism|Adoptionism]].  Prior to the 20th century, the Christian church referred to the Oneness doctrine as Sabellianism, Patripassianism, Modalism or modalistic monarchianism.
