The Last Man: Reclaiming Father & Son Language in the Oneness Pentecostal Movement

by Steven Gill

Bridging the gap between the language of the Scriptures and the language of the church, The Last Man reframes the conversation about the use of Father and Son language in the New Testament. Father and Son language exists in the Bible, but what purpose does it serve? For centuries, it has been assumed by many that the language of Father and Son in the New Testament exists primarily to disclose the existence of the triune God. Yet, close examination of the Scriptures reveals that this is not the case. The Last Man takes the reader through the principles of Adamic Christology, the doctrine of a submitted Savior, and the formation of early church practices surrounding water baptism in order to expound upon the purpose of Father and Son language in the New Testament. Furthermore, The Last Man reveals why Father and Son language is essential to the doctrine of oneness and why it is important for believers everywhere to have a strong hermeneutic of Sonship when reading the Bible.

That’s Modalism, Patrick!

Gill’s book is simply a repackaged, modern version of ancient heresy. His views have been argued and refuted many times. Gill’s book is not even that well-argued; it’s clear that he has not meaningfully engaged with even basic Trinitarian thought. And despite his book espousing the Sabellian heresy, Gill’s “Adamic Christology” somehow has tinges of Nestorianism, Arianism, and Adoptioniam. His book is an impressive feat of combining as many heresies as possible, which makes it all the more incoherent.
