Again, apart from die hard theologians, most Trinitarians aren't thinking in all of these dogma terms you describe here. The Trinity is seldom discussed in their ranks. You actually hear the term "
Jesus is God" more than you hear the term "
God in 3 persons". In fact, you could describe the Oneness doctrine to them and the majority would say, "
That's what I believe!".
Bro Epley, I'm still waiting for you to respond to my other points.....

My response....

If a Oneness pastor had not fellowshipped me when I was licensed with the Assemblies of God, then I never would have joined the Oneness ranks and been open to more truth. Somebody like...well....you....would never have reached me.
Furthermore, concerning Trinitarians who have received the gift of the Holy Ghost, please consider Paul's words in Ephesians 1:13-14......
Quote:
13 And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago.
14 The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people.

Die hards like yourself seem to be forgetting what God is declaring about someone when He gives them the Holy Ghost. You should straighten God out on this matter, don't you think?
