Our Trinitarian Brothers and Sisters in Christ

[Jermyn Davidson]

I have met maybe two Trinnies in my life who really thought that God is 3 persons as in three separate individuals-- maybe a couple more if you want to count my elementary school friends.

The Bible says, "Great is the mystery of Godliness...."

The word "rapture" is a convention to describe a biblical truth.
The word, "Trinity" fits in the same category.


For most folks, the difference is semantics.

I have NO Trinity Brothers and Sisters in Christ. There are NO Trinitarians in Christ.

This is just one of the reasons why I felt it best to leave the Apostolic movement-- I will not disrespect Apostolics who believe this way, but I can't really fellowship with them knowing that I just don't agree with them on this and several other issues.

Where I see the Grace of God, they dismiss that Grace as the work of satan, with their logic leading them to a dangerously judgmental place.

It's possible for one's theology to be imperfect and yet they be saved. I knew an ol' Baptist woman who was in her eighties. She would sit on her porch and rock back and forth. A very modest woman. She also believed in the "gifts". I remember my mother talking to her about "Oneness" and her churches "Trinitarian doctrine". This ol' woman simply said, "I don't know all your big words hon... I don't understand every mystery. But I know Jesus."

I believe that woman may have been saved. Ultimately only God can judge the heart of a person and the relationship they have developed with Him.

“We must have fellowship with anyone and everyone who is in fellowship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. If we refuse to have fellowship with them, then our actions deny the gospel. We are making a distinction that God himself does not make. We are adding some qualification to the only thing God requires, which is faith in Jesus Christ.” - Philip Graham Ryken, Galatians

"Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called—one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” - Ephesians 4:3-6

Who is Phillip Ryken and why should I care what he says? Paul said 'let them be accursed.'
