God exists in three distinct persons, not states. The example you suggested is classic “modalism” or “Sabellianism.” It’s one of the unorthodox teachings of T.D. Jakes and Oneness Pentecostals.
That.

Thanks for jumping in.
About half the analogies people offered here are examples of modalism.
You may have noticed that I tried to make the case that the “distinct persons” explanation is flawed also. I would be interested in your thoughts on that.
