Meanwhile.....
You condemn those trinitarians to hell who have paved the way for your freedom to do so without it costing you your life. Ironically it cost many of them theirs.
You read and preach from an English Bible that is the translation work of John Wycliffe (trinitarian), William Tyndale (trinitarian, and gave his life to translate that Bible), and then the team of original KJV translators (all trinitarian).
If you read commentaries they are likely trinitarian (unless you've read less than 20, since that's about the total # of oneness produced commentaries), if you have benefited from Bible dictionaries, encyclopedia's, concordances, or lexicons (none of which are produced by oneness pentecostals) then you have a trinitarian to thank.
Do you enjoy hearing preaching and congregational singing in your own language? All thanks to trinitarians.
Do you ever sing Amazing Grace, Rock of Ages, Blessed Assurance, How Great Thou Art, It is Well With My Soul, Crown Him With Many Crowns, All Hail the Power of Jesus Name, The Wonderful Cross, and a thousand more God glorifying hymns? All the work of trinitarians.
Were you born or ever received treatment at a Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, or Baptist hospital? Yep. All trinitarians.
So while you condemn them all to hell, discounting them being burned alive, strangled, beheaded and the like for their faith please tell me exactly what contribution has oneness pentecostalism made to the furtherance of the gospel in the last 2000 years?
