If they were to get a revelation of the Godhead and then deny it, they could be as reporbate as some others...........

Is there an echo in here? You already made that ridiculous statement once.

First of all, I don't "witness" to "Trinitarians" (who probably never even think about labeling themselves that way to begin with). I witness to those who have never surrendered to Christ. That is my focus. I don't have time to try to straighten out everyone's thinking. If given a chance, I share my Godhead views with Trinitarians. Most of them say, "that sounds like what I believe", etc. It's the so-called "Theologians" and "Apologists" that give me trouble, not the guy on the pew.

Secondly, just sharing your views concerning the Godhead does not necessarily constitute a "revelation". Frankly, many of them have been taught not to believe every "revelation" that comes down the pike, but to study and pray, which for some might take years to come to a conclusion on the matter.

Thirdly, as far as witnessing to the unchurched, the Apostles never went too deep into the Godhead issue in Acts. It is a topic that can only be "spiritually discerned" per Paul, and without the Holy Ghost they'll never grasp it to begin with. In Acts, the Apostles presented Jesus as "the Son of God" and need for repentance and new birth. Teaching on the Godhead is a post salvation work and part of discipleship.

Fourthly, why would any Spirit filled Trinitarian listen to people who show absolutely no respect for the experience with God that they do have currently? Why would they let arrogant, Pharisaical elitists build on the foundation they already have? I can tell you from experience, Trinitarians are open to more truth from those who respect them as brothers and acknowledge that they (the Trinitarian) might also have insights of truth that they (the Oneness believer) can glean from. And I'll give you a hint....people who post on discussion boards threads entitled "All Trinitarians are Lost" will never get an open door of dialog with these people. Why would they possibly think someone like that has anything they need?
