Gregory Thaumaturgus

“ We acknowledge that the Son and the Spirit are consubstantial with the Father, and that the substance of the Trinity is one,—that is, that there is one divinity according to nature, the Father remaining unbegotten, and the Son being begotten of the Father in a true generation, and not in a formation by will, [1] and the Spirit being sent forth eternally from the substance of the Father through the Son, with power to sanctify the whole creation. ”

“ And we further acknowledge that the Word was made flesh, and was manifested in the flesh-movement [2] received of a virgin, and did not simply energize in a man. And those who have fellowship with men that reject the consubstantiality as a doctrine foreign to the Scriptures, and speak of any of the persons in the Trinity as created, and separate that person from the one natural divinity, we hold as aliens, and have fellowship with none such. [3] There is one God the Father, and there is only one divinity. ”
