I am not Trinitarian, but I do not believe the developement and formulation of the Trinitarian doctrine was with evil intent nor neccessarily by evil people.

I would be horrified if we were gaining ecumenical acceptance, because that would mean we had sold out.

The real Apostolics aren't ever going to crave or receive ecumenical accpetance.
Brother this deserves a standing ovation.

It is common sense if you are aware of the true intent of the word.

We will be hated all of all men for HIS NAMES SAKE. There is a hatred for everything Christian in America. If that hatred continues to grow - we will be forced to rethink some boundaries.

In no way am I saying we will need to adandon our core doctrine. I am saying that if and when the world of Christendom begins to suffer heavy persecution we will need each other. The name calling will stop. We will appreciate each other.

...I agree and further I do not believe that Trinitarian churches believe or embrace their doctrine only because of the goings on at Nicea, they see it and believe it from scripture.

The term is not simply Oneness and Trinitarian folks getting together to debate the finer points.

Right, I understand that is the goal of the World Council of Churches.

I think we may be missing something Bro. Perhaps I should address this with you in pm's instead of on open forum? My desire is not to argue, but to point out a trend I see in our movement.
