Hi Interested,
You asked, " You don't believe in 3 distinct persons, right?"
Sorry to disappoint you but I do believe in three distinct Beings - the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
***The 3 distinct persons I'm referring to are God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Maybe I should ask you a more direct question and hope that you can answer straight. Do you believe that Jesus is God? Yes,No? You have purposely change the word "persons" to "beings". Be careful that by saying 3 beings, you may fall into tritheism.
Since you don't have a creed, you may want to consider writing one yourself. If your church doesn't have a creed or can't write one then who knows what you believe? The best way to confuse people is to tell them you don't believe in or need any creed.
***Our faith is based on the Bible and we do not need any additional books or materials eg. creeds, just like the catholics and mormons. If someone wants to know what we believe, he can easily find out. There is no excuse.
According to what I understand from you folks the fullness of the Godhead (not God) dwells in Christ and the Father left Christ at the crucifixion. This will make Jesus Christ nothing more than a mere man and He is divine only when the Godhead (?) was in Him. This is a heresy. I believe Christ was intrinsically divine from the beginning and was, is and always will be divine.
***Interested, can you please read up on the Oneness before you continue to make your assumptions? Oneness Pentecostal does not teach that the Father left Christ at the crucifixion. Please read up again under title, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?".

Why did John say, "He was in the beginning with God" again in John 1:2? The "He" clearly means John was talking about another Being who is distinct from God. So from the beginning there was two distinct Beings. John wasn't using some mysterious word when he used the word Logos. It was a common word at that time from Plato's philosophy. It means an Intelligent Being who created the worlds. Why would John use a word which his readers wouldn't understand? No, at that time it was quite a common word.
***Please read up on "The Word" by DB. You are right that the "Word" is a common word. It is just like the word of any man. The Word is not another being.
