I would suggest that it is not that simple either way.

But I would also suggest that unless you intend to say that there is simply one God who left heaven entirely to become the visible Son in the Middle East at what we now consider the transition from BC to AD, then left that to become the Spirit, then it probably is truly modalism. Does that warrant a claim that you are not Christian? Probably not.

But modalism is not the point of this thread anyway.
