Well, can someone explain what Oneness doctrine is as compared to Trinitarian doctrine and are there any accepted documents that summarize the Oneness position.

That is what I say. So why would I believe a position that everyone claims is a cult even if I don't believe that the Godhead difference is a big issue. Still, I think the trinitarian position is a little more biblical.
If you truly want to know what Trinitarianism is, you really have to go back to the source...
Find an old time devout Roman Catholic, not a modern day one that believes in english spoken in Mass. Most modern day ones can't even begin to explain what the RCC really teaches about the Trinity.
There is a MAJOR difference between "Oneness" and the true doctrine of the trinity as it originated with the RCC.
Do you really think the RCC would label "Oneness" believers as HERETICS if there wasn't any significant difference in the beliefs?
As a delivered RC, it frightens me to think that people that once knew better would suddenly begin to embrace the trinity.
Its a salvational issue, not just semantics.
Sorry, I don't have the time to debate this topic. This is a hit and run. But there are plenty of resources out there. Including my own dad if you'd like to contact him. He'd be thrilled to talk to you about the trinity. He loves to debate it.

In which ways and to what degree does it become an issue of salvation?
It's all very confusing. It's like there are differing ideas/levels of "oneness" and differing levels of "trinitarianism". I don't like to use either label, but I do NOT believe that there are three distinct personalities that have differing thought patterns and emotions. That, I think, is a truly tri-theistic idea. However, I do not believe that Jesus is the Father, so I guess that makes me non-oneness in some people's minds.
All I know is that I love Jesus and when I get to heaven, if there happens to be 3, I'm not going to be upset and ask to go to the other place!!!
