Yeah, he's Oneness Pentecostal. His website (and that of his church) used to state his belief on the whole Trinity thing, but he has since changed/re-worded it.
He basically believes that the Trinity is polytheistic--the whole idea of 3 in 1. His belief is that it was first God. Then he transformed into Jesus (meaning there was no longer "God") and then when Jesus ascended into heaven, he transformed into the Holy Spirit. So now, there is no 'God,' there is no 'Jesus,' it is now the Holy Spirit. He will say "Jesus" but he means the Holy Spirit, not Jesus himself.
I don't agree with his belief, but I very much enjoy hearing Bishop Jakes preach.
