Basic Theology of Christianity on God and Christ

This is what the Bible affirmed about
1. The nature of God:
  1. God is one.
  2. God the Father is God.
  3. God the Son is God.
  4. God the Holy Spirit is God.
  5. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is distinct.
2. The nature of Christ:
  1. Jesus is wholly God.
  2. Jesus is wholly Man.
  3. Jesus is one.
Here is a list of heresies on God, collected from the internet:

Denial of the oneness and uniqueness of God
These result from a denial of the statement, "There is only one God."
  • Polytheism
Denial of the eternal deity of each Person
These result from a denial of the statement, "Each Person is fully God".
  • Adoptionism
  • Arianism - Jehovah Witness
  • Apollinarianism
Denial of the distinction of Personalities or Persons
These result from a denial of the statement, "The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct, eternal Persons".
  • Modalism - Patripassianism, Branhamism, The Local Church (or "Living Stream Ministry")
  • Monarchism
Denial of the two, distinct, unmingled natures of Christ
  • Nestorianism
  • Eutychianism
