Found it.

And yet, you think some lost may not actually end up in the lake of fire. Fascinating.

My grandmother was a Trinitarian, btw.

As for Trinitarians... allow God to judge them. Only He knows their hearts.

What disturbs me is when I hear one condemn an entire group of people and they are not walking in the fulness of obedience themselves. Before you judge the Trinitarian seeker over the mote in their eye... remove the BEAM from your own eye! Then you will know how to lovingly help your misguided brother or sister understand the truth more perfectly.

Selah!

Who knows what if I am right being a trinitarian?

If your trinatarians are right and oneness are wrong then the bible would also have to be wrong

The Bible is never wrong... it's our interpretation of various doctrines in the Bible that often miss the mark.

Enjoy reading the Bible through the Oneness filter?

I hate to break the news to you folks but most 'trinitarians' would NEVER identify themselves this way. Very few understand the doctrine, most could never, ever, in a million, million years explain it. Some know a creed (or more likely part of a creed) that covers it.

I was raised in a trinny faith and we never discussed it or even thought about it.

Unless you believe that someone must have a complete and perfect understanding of the Godhead to be saved than all trinitarians going to hell is just not a possible conclusion.

And if you believe that a perfect understanding of the Godhead is necessary for salvation then a whole lotta oneness folks are also headed where ever you believe lost folks are going.

And this is the thing I find the most bizzare about Apostolics... they really think that the sun rises and sets on what they believe... and the truth is that more than 99% of the population have no idea WHAT we believe... They have no idea why we don't wear pants or why a man walks around in a long sleeve shirt in summer. They are more likely to conclude that he is hiding inappropriate tattoos than that he is doing it for God. And most trinnys have no idea that there is ANY OTHER way that Christians believe... It's just not even part of their equation while they are doing their best to love Jesus.

We are so self focused and arrogant... and sad. We make it so us against them... and mostly they don't even know we exist.
