Certainly, if someone said something like, "I have NO Trinity Brothers and Sisters in Christ. There are NO Trinitarians in Christ." in my church I would walk out.

I have made that statement plenty. We would wave at you as you are leaving.

Nope.

Re: Our Trinitarian Brothers and Sisters in Christ
New American Standard Bible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18“I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.
The very FOUNDATION of the Church of Jesus Christ is His Identity as the Son of the Living God, not the Father.

Re: Our Trinitarian Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Now if anyone is expecting three beings in heaven, we part ways on that.

Re: Our Trinitarian Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Y'all pass the pipe and get high on STUPID? Today's trinitarians believe that they will see 2 persons, the Father and Jesus, and a dove perched on Jesus' shoulder. It is not semantics.

I've met people who tried to articulate it that way, though more "reverently;" however these folks tended to be only nominally "religious" and almost always confessed that they had never really tried to study the thing out, let alone think the matter through.
When it comes to speaking with "mature" Christians and even pastors and Bible teachers - you won't find anyone who will say "Being s" when it comes to God. They'd be lambasted by their fellow Trinitarians.
Remember the Nicene Creed? "One in Being with the Father..." (concerning Jesus Christ). One Being. See also the Greek word " homoousia."

Re: Our Trinitarian Brothers and Sisters in Christ
The trinity doctrine is an invention of man wherein paganism was breached into true theology proper. Do they believe in three gods? They claim no, but when God is a mere nature shared by three persons, and those three persons are equal, then you have three gods, no matter how much you shake the tree otherwise. This is truth and pure common sense.
There is only one God, one person who is pure and holy, who is a Spirit, manifested in the flesh as the Lord Jesus Christ. There are none beside Him, before Him, or above Him. He is God and God alone.

The "mere nature" that they affirm as being shared by "Three Persons" is Almighty God, Bro.
I feel that Trinitarians have erred in continuing to use the word "Person" long after its Latin meaning had been changed through time.

Re: Our Trinitarian Brothers and Sisters in Christ
I get trying to build a bridge of fellowship and understanding.
I get that we are not the judge of who goes to heaven.
But, we have a precious truth, the Oneness of God and baptism in the name of Jesus.
Shouldn't we be more interested in sharing what we know then in trying to rationalize away the differences?
I'm afraid we are in danger of not passing on the truths that we know to a future generation.
