In process theology, dipolar theism is the position that to conceive a perfect God, one must conceive him as embodying the "good" in sometimes-opposing characteristics; therefore, such a deity cannot be understood to embody only one set of characteristics.
In being just, God determines that the good are rewarded and the evil are punished.
Dipolar theism holds that a perfect God must embody the good in both of those characteristics.
God must therefore embody the "good" in both power and persuasion.
From this conclusion, some reject the existence of an omnipotent God.
