The doctrine of the trinity as defined by tri-theism or three actual PERSONS as we understand the word persons, is unbiblical and erroneous.
However, to ascribe eternal damnation to a person who has not received something that ONLY God can give, IMO, is worse than the doctrine in question. Remember, we're not talking about people living in licenciousness or wanton sin. We're talking about people who have been transformed by the word of God and multitudes even filled with His Spirit. Many of these have even been baptized in Jesus' name even though they don't completely understand why.
I'm all for walking in more and more truth, but to proclaim that these people are hell-bound, I believe, is to add to the word of God. That is VERY dangerous ground to be standing on, for sure. That is ground that I am not willing to defend, stand on or even give credence to one iota.
We need to be careful that we view our "dogma" through scripture and not scripture through dogma.
