Explanation
Modalism teaches that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not distinct persons but rather different modes or manifestations of the One God.

This belief denies the separate identities of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and emphasizes their unity and oneness.

Correct Answer
A. Unitarianism does not constitute one single denomination

Explanation
Unitarianism does not constitute one single denomination because it is a theological movement that encompasses various beliefs and practices. It is characterized by the rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity and the belief in the unity of God. Unitarianism includes different denominations and religious groups that share similar beliefs, but they may have different interpretations and practices. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that Unitarianism is a single denomination.

The movement later spread to other parts of Europe and eventually to the United States and other continents.
