I like Erwin's material and he has a point. I don't think that applies here though. The Trinitarian in my debate nor I would think either of us are Christian. Why debate or even spread the Gospel of Christ if we are all saved or if we all have The Truth? If any of us sincerely believe in Scripture and are convinced of it then we would tell about Christ to others.
Christians in my view though are those who have responded to God in faith and repentance, been baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. That's where Erwin's quote breaks down IMHO.

The bolded illustrates the heart of the problem. For either of you to judge the Christianity of the other is beyond excuse and completely deplorable. As my signature verse says, in essence, God is the one who has given me right standing with Himself, not you. Christ is the one who died for me, not you. You are absolutely and completely disqualified from condemning my redemptive relationship with Christ. To bottom line it? How dare you.
