Sabellianism is a Christological heresy in Christianity that was promoted by Sabellius, a theologian of the 3rd century AD. According to Sabellianism, the one God of the Trinity is sequentially incarnated in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This means that the doctrine suggests that God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three distinct stages or modes of one divine essence, rather than three coequal, coeternal persons distinguishable in substance and power.<br><br>The core of Sabellianism is that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit do not exist simultaneously, but rather each is a different manifestation of the one true God. Sabellianism emerged as a reaction against the teachings of the Arian heretics, who held that Jesus Christ was not coequal with the Father and the Holy Spirit. However, the exact mechanism of God's mode-switching was hardly outlined in early Sabellianism.<br><br>Back in his time, bishop Zephyrinus and his successor, Callistus (elected in 217), supported Sabellius's views, as well as other churches did, largely because they sought to clear themselves of what they saw as betrayal towards Christ by Arius.
