Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

I deleted text that said (quoting from memory because I forgot to cut--doh!):
: Each [person of the Trinity] just shows a different character at a given point [in history].
This is an ancient heresy called Modalism, which I think is the same as Sabellianism after its proponent, Sabellius. It suggests that God just wears different hats or masks, or operates in different modes or characters at different points in time, like a Greek actor changing masks. This is refuted in Scripture when all three show up at once, especially at Christ's baptism (Epiphany/Theophany?), and was also refuted by the Ecumenical Councils. I think modalism was mentioned earlier in the article; no need to repeat it here. --Wesley
