Subject: Is Belief in the Trinity Required? |
Bible Note: Hi Beja, Thank you for your thoughts. I think your answer in regards to church membership is clear. Your answer is yes, belief in the Trinity, and all of the elements thereof, should be required before a person can become a member of the church. I believe this is the actual policy of most Protestant churches. Your answer as to salvation is murky. My question is easily answered yes or no. There is no gray area. So let me rephrase the question. A person believes that Jesus is the Son of God the Father. That Jesus was crucified for our sins, was buried and arose from the dead after 3 days, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. The same person believes in the Holy Spirit, but as the spirit of God the Father and not as a separate person. Is that person denied salvation because he does not believe that the Holy Spirit is a separate person? Holmes |
