One God.
One Lord.
And every claim placed
under pressure.
Counterpoint is a platform for serious theological debate from a Oneness Pentecostal perspective — Scripture, grammar, history, logic, and metaphysics, with the argument laid out in full view of the public.
Colossians 1 Reconsidered
Is the Son the agent of original creation — or the head of the new?
Colossians 1:15–20 is treated by Trinitarian apologists as a knockout text — the Son creates "all things," therefore the Son must be a pre-existent divine person beside the Father. But the passage is far more disciplined than that reading allows.
Four entry points into the work.
The journal is organized into four pillars: written studies, recorded teaching, live debate, and downloadable research. Choose where to start.
Not slogans. Arguments.
The objective is not to repeat denominational talking points. It is to put every claim — including our own — under sustained pressure: scriptural, grammatical, logical, metaphysical, historical.
Live Debate
Formal debates, cross-examination, and panel engagements held in public — without filtering, without retreat, and without the safety of a friendly audience.
Deep Teaching
Scripture in its grammatical, historical, and metaphysical context. The argument is laid out in the open. Footnotes exist. Sources are cited. Nothing is hidden.
Research
Position papers, scripture lists, debate notes, Greek studies, and downloadable resources — written for those who want to read further than the video.
"To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."
Bring the argument into the open.
Submit a question, propose a debate, or request a written reply. All correspondence is read.
Articles & Studies.
Eight standing studies on the contested theological questions. Each entry pairs a written thesis with — when ready — a paragraph-by-paragraph debate workspace. Read the position. Then enter the workshop.
Have an article you want addressed?
Counterpoint takes responses by request. If there's a study, paper, or article you'd like answered paragraph-by-paragraph, send it.
The Channel.
Live debates, teaching, theological interviews, and verse-by-verse studies. The latest videos from the Counterpoint Apologetics YouTube channel — updated automatically.

Live Engagements.
Formal debates, cross-examination engagements, and panel discussions — past, upcoming, and proposed. Counterpoint actively pursues debate. This is where it is documented.
This page will list three things: past engagements (with footage and post-debate analysis), scheduled debates (with date, opponent, motion, and venue), and open invitations (motions Counterpoint is actively willing to defend or oppose).
The point of debate, on Counterpoint's view, is not victory. It is exposure. The argument has to face an opponent who will press it where it is weakest. That requires standing in front of one.
Motions Counterpoint will defend
- I."The Bible teaches that God is one Person, not three."
- II."Jesus Christ is a true human being with a human soul, not a flesh-suit worn by deity."
- III."Colossians 1:15–20 does not require a pre-existent second divine person."
- IV."A genuine believer can fall away and be lost."
Have a motion or opponent in mind?
If you'd like to debate Counterpoint, or you know someone who would, send the proposal through the contact page.
The Research Library.
Downloadable studies, scripture lists, debate notes, Greek references, and supporting documents. Written for those who want to read further than the article.
Resources will be organized to match the eight articles. Each study will eventually have a companion folder containing: the position paper as a downloadable PDF, the supporting scripture list, Greek lexical tables, debate-notes, and a citation bibliography.
Where Counterpoint engages a specific opponent's article (as in the Burgos response on Colossians 1), the original opponent text will be linked openly so the reader can verify every claim.

Need a specific resource sooner?
If there's a paper, scripture list, or study guide you need before the library is fully assembled, ask. Counterpoint will share it directly when possible.
About Counterpoint.
A platform for serious theological debate from a Oneness Pentecostal perspective. Scripture, grammar, history, logic, and metaphysics — with the argument laid out in full view of the public.
One God. One Lord.
Counterpoint defends the historic Oneness Pentecostal confession: God is one indivisible Spirit — the Father — who has manifested Himself in flesh as the Lord Jesus Christ. The same God who spoke at Sinai is the God who spoke from the cross.
Counterpoint Apologetics exists to do something most of the apologetics world has stopped doing: argue. Not for sport, not for clout, and not for a denominational tribe — but for the truth, in public, against the strongest opposing case available.
The platform takes the historic Oneness Pentecostal confession as its starting point: God is one — not three persons in one substance, but one indivisible Spirit, the Father, who has manifested Himself fully and personally in Jesus Christ. From that foundation, every contested question — Christology, Logos theology, Hebrews 1, Colossians 1, the warning passages, holiness, baptism, the Spirit — is taken seriously and argued through.
What this platform is not.
Counterpoint is not a personality channel, a meme account, or a denominational PR vehicle. It is not interested in scoring points, in the assumption that everyone outside the Oneness tradition is a heretic, or in retreating from arguments that are uncomfortable. The arguments are uncomfortable. That is part of the point.
What it is.
It is a journal — written, recorded, and debated — with a simple structural commitment: every claim is shown, every source is cited, every opposing view is engaged at its strongest. Where Counterpoint is wrong, Counterpoint will say so. Where Counterpoint is right, it will not back down because the opposition is louder, older, or institutionally larger.
