Re: Going To Trinity Churches ?
I go to a "trinity" church.
I've be going there since the spring of 2006.
Before that I went to a Vineyard for almost 14 years.
I am a one-stepper so therefore, in my opinion, these folks are as "saved" as anyone.
As far as the teachings of "trinity" and "oneness" there is no single oneness teaching and no single trinity teaching. All of our explanations of our triune God are pretty much the same. I realize there are some among oneness who believe Jesus became God at His baptism and ceased being God before He could die on the cross, and among trinitarians there may be those who believe in three thrones, but I would think these are the exceptions on either end of the scale. The oneness and trinity folks I am familiar with both seem to believe pretty much the same.
Folks in oneness and trinity churches both receive the Holy Ghost Baptism.
It is my personal opinion that the condition of the heart of a person is more important than the amount of water or the words spoken during the ritual of baptism.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday I will be in meetings with "trinity" folks who love the Lord, who speak with tongues, and who are sincerely serving Him. I consider them my brothers and sisters and members in the Body of Christ.
