Thanks for your concern, but you are a bit misguided here. I stand by my belief that the OP movement need not glory in its "truth" (and I do believe they have much truth other churches need) while holding onto error that it just as twisted as that in Trinitarian churches. Yes, I'm done defending what is indefensible.
As for the godhead issue. As Dr. Seagraves said, we need to stop claiming Trinitarians believe in 3 Gods.
While it is perfectly in order to point out to Trinitarians how the way they define the one God is lacking, it does not nothing but alienate them by accusing them of being tritheists. In all the years I was in Trinitarian ranks, I heard ONE preacher say something from the pulpit that was genuinely tritheistic. He was a guest evangelist and after he left, the host pastor apologized from the pulpit for that evangelist's remarks and clarified to his congregation that the Church of God "does not believe there are 3 Gods".
