Our BELEIF IS PATRIPASIANISM!! [[[[[Patripassianism ]]]]began in the third century AD. Patripassianism was referred to as a belief ascribed to those following Sabellianism, after its founder Sabellius, especially by the chief opponent Tertullian. Sabellius, considered a founder of an early movement, was a [[[[[priest who was EXCOMMUNICATED from the Church by Pope Callixtus I]]]] in 220 and lived in Rome. Sabellius advanced the doctrine of one God sometimes referred to as “economic Trinity” and he opposed the Orthodox doctrine of the “essential Trinity”. Praxeus and Noetus were some major followers. The Teachings of Sabellius were most vigorously [[[[[[[opposed by Tertullian in North Africa and Hippolytus in Rome]]]]]]], who both proposed an hierarchical trinity of subordinate persons.[9] Tertullian gave Sabellius doctrine the name Patripassianism, meaning ‘the father suffered’, since Sabellius made no true distinction of persons between the Father and the Son. This is a distortion of Sabellius teaching according to Clissold, who quotes scholars who have appealed to Epiphanius writings.[10] Epiphanius (died 403) says that in his time Sabellians were still numerous in Mesopotamia and Rome - a fact confirmed by an inscription discovered at Rome in 1742, evidently erected by Sabellian Christians.[11] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Callixtus_I
