When a sinner in either a Oneness or Trinitarian church responds to the conviction he feels and falls in the altar repenting, he is most likely at that point thinking about Jesus as being "the Son of God". He does not understand all the in and outs of apologetics and theology. He just knows he needs to get right.

Dr James White must of never met the trinitarians I have met. Which the lion share are dualists. The believe in a papa god and his son Jesus. There is always a twoism. Which makes up the majority. The other are tritheism like Mormons. Who believe in literally a true Trinity, which is three separate persons. My Roman and Eastern Orthodox relatives believe in there separate persons all day every day. Modalists within Trinitarianism? would fill a thimble. Because as fast as they can say Modalist, they would break it all down between two or three persons.

Yet, please no offense, but it seems like you are making zero knowledge a given. Therefore God has to ditch His plan of salvation and just grade everyone on their faith in something close to a Biblical Jesus. Everyone will be judged on how sincere, faithful, kind, and (in the case of Dave Wilkerson, and Billy Graham) ecclesiastically famous they were?
