1 | Is Belief in the Trinity Required? | Bible general Archive 4 | Holmes | 230157 | ||
The Doctrine of the Trinity has the following elements: 1. God is one, but exists in three distinct persons, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 2. The three are eternal. 3. The three are co-equal. Should church membership require belief in the Trinity and the above three elements? Does salvation require belief in the Trinity and the above three elements? Examples would be a person who believes in the Holy Spirit, not as a separate person, but as the power of God the Father or a person who believes that the Son is God, but not co-equal with God the Father. Thank you, Holmes |

Salvation depends on this: John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Believing in a pre-defined Orthodox definition of what God is ie: Trinity is not required. The bible speaks of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We must believe in those three, but not that the Holy Spirit is a "person" nor that all are equal. Stick with the bible, ignore traditions of man. |

ewq, Part of the Terms of Use which all participants in this forum agree to is that their posts will be consistent with the following creeds. "Postings must be consistent with Biblical Christian doctrine (Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed, Chalcedonian Creed, and Canons of the Council of Orange)" This is actually a cut and paste from the Terms of Use. Here is a relevant section of the Nicene Creed: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. Now, you don't have to agree with this to participate on the forum, but by participating you are agreeing that your posts will not contradict such a confession. These are the terms of our hosts. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with these confessions (easily found online with a google search) because every time you log into this forum you are giving your consent to abide by these rules. In Christ, Beja |

I don't disagree with one word of the Nicene Creed. | ||||||
