1 | Is Belief in the Trinity Required? | Bible general Archive 4 | Beja | 230193 | ||
(Part 2, I think I replied these to the wrong post, but just pretend they are to the post where you asked me!) Answers to your questions based on the above thoughts: 1. Does a man need to believe in the trinity in order to be saved? Only insofar as it is involved in the gospel message. Though a saved man will receive the rest when it is shown to him by scriptural authority. For we are given a heart that humbles itself under scriptural truth by the spirit at our conversion. 2. Should this be a requisite to Church membership? We have no clear command but here is what I think is good in light of what I have said. a.) Nobody should be required to explain how the trinity should work. It should be limited to things like: Is Jesus God? Yes. Is the Holy Spirit God? No. Is Jesus the Father? No. Etc. b.) Rejection of the trinity should prevent Church Membership. My assumption here as a Baptist is regenerate church membership. c.) That being the case, why would we not check that they believe/accept the trinitarian doctrine prior to joining? I hope this helps, I stand ready to be corrected in my thinking here. I readily confess you ask questions I've not previously given a great deal of thought to. In Christ, Beja |
