"Heresy can be rooted in a false doctrine or a rejection of sound doctrine." Friends, Many people today are semi-Sabellian heretics, and they do not even know that they are. For many years, I was a semi-Sabellian. I also believed in a pre-tribulation rapture, but then I read the Scriptures and was introduced to Matthew 24 from people who had a post-tribulational perspective. A semi-Sabellian believes in the Holy Spirit "who proceeds from the Father AND THE SON". It's the "AND THE SON" (FILIOQUE) that gets people into a semi-Sabellian HERESY that is AGAINST JOHN 15:26. Which merely says "which proceedeth from the Father" (KJV). Monopatrism, "from the Father alone", is the doctrine of the NT. It is the holy doctrine of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which the non-Orthodox West (Protestants and Catholics united together as one faith) rejects in favor of saying "And the Son".

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
