I have never once said that all Trinitarians are lost.
I have never once said that all Trinitarians are saved.

It is not up to me or to anyone to make that final decision.

I personally think, it is wrong for both sides to do such thing.
Two wrongs do not make one right.
It is not for us to make the decision as to who goes or not to hell, that decision belongs to God alone.
Leave the judgment up to God.

Any time the Spirit falls on a person or a group of people during praise and worship, whatever the geographical setting, it's because of a two-fold reason:

1.) A sovereign act of God (no one can make Him move)

2.) The people worshipping Him have approached Him with faith and humility.

It doesn't mean the people are "saved" or that the song they were singing when His presence manifested was written by someone who was or is "saved".

God promises to draw nigh to anyone who draws nigh to Him, to any who are of a broken and contrite spirit (Psalm 51:17 and Isaiah 57:15 and Isaiah 66:2).

It may just be that the reason God moves and manifests is not because the people are saved, but because He is drawing them to salvation, that is, He allows His Spirit to descend upon them to: grant repentance, give them new life, sanctify them, and etc.

Every sinner I've ever led to the Lord universally feels the presence of God in some way BEFORE they receive the Holy Spirit.

I don’t understand!

Are they looking our way???

Praise and worship songs written by trinitarians do not generally have anything to do with the doctrine of the Trinity or other doctrines where there is contention. So there is no offence.

I also don't believe that belief that every Christian singer that goes to a trinitarian church is a trinitarian. Many Christians in the pew don't understand the doctrine and chalk it up to mystery. Again, no offence.

I've yet to meet anyone who has come to understand all of God's truth. We all have misunderstandings. I believe we should be humble in this.

Being a restorationist, I tend to believe that we are the revival God promised to send to a church that was stagnant and trapped in tradition (the mainstream Christian churches).

We often pray, "God send us an endtime revival!" But what we mean is that we want God to grow our numbers and revive our earthly organizations. What we don't realize is that WE ARE the revival that God has sent to the entire Christian world.
