Some brutal honesty.
 
What is a person to do when he realizes that he has made full-circle in his beliefs? What he believes today is what he believed when he started out in his faith, and it is outside of the “Oneness” “Jesus Only” “Apostolic” paradigm.

If you believe that your beliefs are based on the Scriptures and not upon tradition or what you were taught about the Scriptures, relax and just rest in Jesus.

Maybe he should try to keep on going in circles until he stops at the correct spot?

I can give only four suggestions:
Continue in your studies in the word of God.
Continue to be teachable.
Keep your conscience clear before God.
and keep this in your heart:
1 John 3:19-24
