 Unlike other relative identity theories, this account, like some one-self theories, affirms the absolute identity of each Person with God; each is the same thing or being or primary substance, God (7). This generates a concern that the account may count as a heretical modalism. Mooney replies that “if Markosian’s episodic view of personal identity is right, the model is not modalist” (ibid.). The reason is that on this account there are three episodes of personhood, which implies that there are three Persons, even though there is one being which is the component thing in each episode, a single subject of the properties that are involved in being a Person.
