=The teachings of Lee Vayle=


Lee Vayle denied the deity of Jesus Christ and preached Arianism, a heresy first taught by Arius (ca. AD 250–336) in Alexandria, Egypt.  Arius and Vayle both asserted that the Son of God was a subordinate entity to God the Father.  Similar doctrine is also taught by Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.

I’m sorry, but he’s not, because God is not in him. No way. What God was in him is not Deity, same as what God is in you is not Deity, concerning Deity Himself, which is Sovereign God and Creator and Maintainer.''<ref>Lee Vayle, Godhead Q&A #4: Tangibility of God, 11-05-2000 </ref>
