[T. D. Jakes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._D._Jakes) is a popular American pastor and speaker who was ordained within [Oneness Pentecostalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneness_Pentecostalism) , a modern [modalist group](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/a/33133/6071) which denies the Trinity.
Jakes has in recent times moved towards Trinitarian Christianity. Wikipedia [records](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._D._Jakes#Beliefs) that in 2012 he affirmed the trinity, but "did not affirm the eternality of the individual persons."
Jakes has been invited to popular Protestant events such as the Hillsong Conference. His lack of clarity on whether he fully endorses the doctrine of the Trinity has concerned many people (and led them to say that his conference hosts have lacked discernment.)
Has Jakes clarified since 2012 whether or not he fully endorses and believes in the Trinity as defined in the Nicene, Athanasian, and/or Chalcedonian creeds?
