The point is not that a song is written by a trinitarian, but whether a song as trinitarian doctrine within it being sung in UPCI churches. Big difference to me. I can sing a song written by an atheist if it praises Jesus. But to sing a song that claims that the godhead is 3 in 1 is trinitarian false doctrine from my understanding, and I will not sing it.

He's God in the Father. He's God in the Son. He's God in the HOly Ghost and all these three are one...Im sure a Trinitarian can agree with that. Trinitarians and OPs believe in a lot of the same doctrines. We can sing their songs in our church when they say "God" or even One God, and have no problem would we? The difference that has always been between Oneness and Trinity is really more about how we DEFINE such terms. We both believe in Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We both believe in One God.
