Modalism is a Christian theological belief that God is one person who appears in three different forms, or modes, rather than three distinct people. It's also known as Sabellianism or modalistic Monarchianism.
How it's taught
Modalism was first taught by Noetus of Smyrna in the second century.
Praxeas and Sabellius also taught modalism in Rome.
Adolf von Harnack coined the term "Modalism" in his 1897 book History of Dogma.
What it teaches
God is one person who manifests as the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit.
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three distinct people, but rather three modes of God's activity.
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are successive manifestations of God.
God's person is one and reveals himself to creation through different modes.
What it's compared to
Modalism is a form of Monarchianism, which is opposed to Trinitarianism.
Modalism is also known as Patripassianism because it implies that the Father suffered on the cross.
What it's associated with
Modalism is embraced by many groups in the United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI).

Sabellianism is a theological doctrine that teaches that God is one person who manifests in three aspects: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Sabellianism is also known as Modalism.
Aspects of Sabellianism
Unity of God
Sabellianism emphasizes that God is one person, and that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are different manifestations of that person.
No personal relationships
Sabellianism denies that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have personal relationships with each other.
Three modes
Sabellianism teaches that God reveals himself in three modes, or aspects, which are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Analogy of the sun
Sabellius used the sun as an analogy for God's nature, suggesting that God has three powers like the sun: warmth, light, and circular form.
Three masks
Some Modalists suggested that God would put away the masks of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit after redemption and manifest himself as one person.
Sabellianism is considered heresy by most Christian groups that believe in Trinitarianism.

Modalism states that God is a single person who, throughout biblical history, has revealed Himself in three modes or forms. Thus, God is a single person who first manifested himself in the mode of the Father in Old Testament times. At the incarnation, the mode was the Son; and after Jesus’ ascension, the mode is the Holy Spirit.

friend you are putting God in a box because he is spirit. A person does not have to be in a physical body. At the Baptism of Jesus, the Father spoke, and the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of a dove.

Did you read them in the orginal langues?
here are the quotes:
Matthew composed the words in the Hebrew dialect, and each translated as he was able. (Papias, 150-170 CE, quoted by Eusebius, Eccl. Hist. 3:39)
Matthew also issued a written gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect. (Ireneus, 170 CE, Against Heresies 3:1)
The dialect back then was Greek, some claim Aramaic.
Problem is, there are no Hebrew Manuscripts of Matthew to prove your claims.
The Shem Tov Matthew (or Shem Tob's Matthew) consists of a complete text of Gospel of Matthew in the Hebrew language found interspersed among anti-Catholic commentary in the 12th volume of a polemical treatise The Touchstone.
Papyrus 𝔓4, fragment of a flyleaf with the title of the Gospel of Matthew, ευαγγελιον κ̣ατ̣α μαθ᾽θαιον, euangelion kata Maththaion. Dated to late 2nd or early 3rd century, it is the earliest manuscript title for Matthew.
The rabbinical translations of Matthew are rabbinical versions of the Gospel of Matthew that are written in Hebrew; Shem Tob's Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, the Du Tillet Matthew, and the Münster Matthew, and which were used in polemical debate with Catholics.
These versions are to be distinguished from the Gospel of the Hebrews which was one or more works found in the Early Church, but surviving only as fragmentary quotations in Greek and Latin texts.
Some scholars consider all the rabbinical versions to be translated from the Greek or Latin of the canonical Matthew, for the purpose of Jewish apologetics.[1] This conclusion is not unanimous. Other scholars have provided linguistic and historic evidence of Shem Tov's Matthew coming from a much earlier Hebrew text that was later translated into Greek and other languages. Early Christian author Papias wrote around the year 100 that, "Matthew composed his history in the Hebrew language, and everyone translated it as he was able".[2][3]
