Is there really anything particularly sacred about the oneness label? jmho

Crackjack for me doctrine matters. i know a lot of people here see it somewhat differntly. they view their understanding of God as maybe more "clear" than others but it really is a minor issue.
it isnt minor for a lot of us. Anyone who believes that
Acts 2:38 is the proper response to the Gospel has to have a hard time even thinking of going to a trinitarian church.
Sacred? Well I am not sure how to respond to that question. Without question, I believe the revalation of who God is, is precious. I view my understanding of the doctrines of salvation as bedrock. As foundational. leaving those things for something else is to leave the foundation. It is to walk out the front door and then try to sneek back into the house via a window.
I vew Jesus' words (there is only one door and those who try to enter some other way are thieves) as sacred.
I cannot fathom the trade some have made. I have made friends here who believe differently than I do. I respect the decisions others have made, even though I cannot for the life of me, understand why they would.
