Just one example from Grudem:

Nevermind. Just flipping through the chapter on the trinity there are so many quotes I will share, I will just start a thread on it sometime. Probably be a week or two though. I've been covered up at work. This is my first AFF post in several days.
It get's worse. Try Dakes stuff. He is classified by other Trinitarians as Tritheistic

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Try sharing quotes from Trinitarians who sound Oneness.

Re: Met a Three-God Trinitarian Last Night

I also came across an actual tritheist who patently stated there were three gods; Father, Son and Holy Ghost. At least he admitted it.

I am more inclined to try to use the scriptures with this person as they are of the type to throw the, "I don't care what some man says" logic at me.

I've known this person at my church for a while now-- just never heard this person speak like this before.

Bro Blume,
Most Trinitarians don't believe in three gods.

That is a no-brainer. But I met one who flatly stated "The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three gods."

Yeah, the one I spoke with referred to The Three in such a way that she might as well believe in three gods.

Leave trinitarians alone. You are not obligated to correct anyone. If God is so concerned about their soul He will personally make an effort to enlighten that person of their error. In the mean time, SHADDAP!

Re: Met a Three-God Trinitarian Last Night

BTW the reason for my comments Jason is that the foundational argument of Trinitarianism relies on PRONOUNS. If they were consistent then they HAVE To confess God is One Person based o their own rule
