Are we three-part beings or two-part beings? And what part of us is a “new creation” – holy, righteous, forgiven and perfect?

At Oneness we believe the tripartite view (trichotomy) that as humans we are a combination of three distinct parts: body, spirit, and soul. It is in contrast to the bipartite view (dichotomy), where soul and spirit are used as different expressions for the same thing (the spiritual soul). And we believe this because God is three parts, Father, Son and Spirit.
