The '''Oneness''' doctrine is a non-[[Trinity|Trinitarian]] view of the [[The Godhead]]. It is the fundamental belief of a minority of Pentecostal denominations and most churches that follow William Branham. However, those message churches that follow the teachings of [[Vaylism|Lee Vayle]] have a view of the Godhead that is 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. | |||

William Branham was incredibly confused in his understanding of God. He tried to hold himself out as believing something that was between Oneness and the Trinity. At times, he sounded like a modalist and at other times, like a Nestorian or Adoptionist. As a result, some of his followers, in particular the followers of [[Vaylism|Lee Vayle]], believe that Jesus was not God but a person with a dual nature (Nestorianism). This doctrine is referred to in a derogatory manner by some message followers as the doctrine of the "Twinity". | William Branham was incredibly confused in his understanding of God.
