You didn't read the rest of my post.
You don't have to heed anything I may say, but you certainly have to heed what the Bible says. Truth is still Truth whether you choose to obey and acknowledge it or not.

If I had small children, it would not bother me to take them to a church that didn't say they were oneness, as long as they could be baptized in Jesus' name. All those "other" churches out there don't go around saying that they are trinitarian; we've just been taught to say that they are. Most of them don't even know what "oneness" means anyway, so they sure don't preach against it.
And yes, God DOES move mightily in those churches that we refer to as "trinitarian". I think you could go worship there and still retain what you believe about the Godhead. If it's a strong belief, it will withstand opposition anyway.
When I was little, my family went to an AG church in Wyoming, because there was no OP church anywhere around us. We survived those years and still believed in Jesus' name baptism and went back home to a UPC church.
THEY ARE NOT OUR ENEMIES~~~!

Thank you Sherri! A level headed response, that answers the question.

Wow Lost! It amazes me! You go on and on but you can't seem to answer a simple question. I read the rest of your post.

Not sure...I'd go for a while to the dead church and pray for it and see if I can get some others to join me in prayer meetings and outreach etc etc...but I have no issue with going to a Trinitarian church that is full of the Holy Ghost as long as they are not constantly trying to push the Trinity on me

I am not implying anything... it was a discussion some of us were having here locally, and I was curious to know what my fellow AFF'ers thought... and why not stirr things up a bit?

Fellowshipping false doctrine is NEVER a good idea.
Everyone I have ever known that did this wound up losing their kids to false doctrine.
"Dead" church may mean whatever, but error is always going to be error.
Worship can be livened up; a move of the Spirit can be prayed down.
But trinitarian doctrine is deception and will cause you to be lost.

Which He? The Spirit of God, that is the very essence of God Himself, or God the Holy Spirit, third person in the Trini-TEE?
