Not at all. Simply put, that's the way I read the Bible. If I don't stand for what I believe what does that make me? Standing for what I believe doesn't make me self-righteous or smug, Brother.
"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." My Dad used to say that all the time. He is Apostolic, of course. I know what I stand for right now. Repentance and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. But I am able to refer to Trinitarian believers as my "brother" and really mean it. Some of them have been more of a "brother" to me than any "Apostolic" has ever been.

I have one standard that I agree on. Personal ones. I believe there are things tha God deals with us each on our own that are things we need to do or stop doing. I think that when AM at BOTT '07 made one of the best points I have ever heard on this similar topic. He said we preach on the 'can not's' and that they send ........ us to hell. He said what about the 'can do's' that we aren't doing? If God wants us to do things to reach the world for Him yet we don't isn't that just as wrong as doing things He wants us not to do? I agree with his mindset about that

I'm open the possibility of that being the case, but I can't say that I look at that way at this point. If the trinity folks would change how they baptize then that would definitely open the door for me. Until then, I am not comfortable with referring to them as brothers in the Lord.
Everyone drawing up denominations is probably a stink the nostrils of God, assuming He has them. I know that He encourages fellowship one with another, but not sure if He is all cool with legalistic leadership and do's and don'ts that are a misrepresentation of what He actually said in His word.

Someone being a trinitarian is directly related to the way they baptize not exactly how the view God or the Godhead so to say. If they change the way they baptize to in 'Jesus name' or some variation then they are mostly, again like us. If everyone on this board were to explain the ONENESS of Jesus you would have maybe half us is agreement. No one here explains it the same, I explained the ONENESS one time to a trinitarian and a friend that was with me asked me, after I was done talking with the trinitarian, why I explained the Godhead that way. He said I was wrong. I told I believe the Godhead three offices into 1 person. He said the Godhead is 1 person into different offices. I told Him that both are one and the same. I am sure after some on here read what I just wrote they would want to disagree with me.
Again if a trinitarian changed baptisimal modes to Jesus name they would be even more like us.
