Thank you for the replies. I am sorry for not following the rules as far as where things should be posted. I was in a hurry to get my questions and comments down and wasn't paying attention. Please feel free to move this post to the proper forum. Again thanks for the info. Duane

Thanks for all the input. I personally don't believe in the trinity, not only because what I was taught from my parents but because I haven't read it in the Word. When the trinity was first introduced to me in 92 I was really confused. I didn't get upset and think that all trinitarians are wakos. I have found it different though when a trinitarian finds out that I don't believe in the trinity. They freak out and go out of there way to prove to me that there is a God head. Three in one. I would say that 99% of the trinitarians in my church that I have asked about the trinity don't even realize what the trinity means. They usually say "Oh ya you mean the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost right." When I tell them that the trinity is actually saying that God is Jesus they look confused. There have been people in my church tell me that Jesus and the Holy Spirit were with God from the begining. My reply is usually "yes I believe Jesus was with God but in God's forsight." For about seven years I was confused about the trinity because of everything from teaching to the songs we sing in church. What I have done is pray about this extensively and asked God to show me in his Word the trinity. It took seven years for my prayer to be answered and the answer to me is that there is no trinity as far as God being Jesus. I do belive in the trinity as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit being three, but three seperate things. Today it is a non issue to me as far as trying to make my friends believe there is no trinity.

I was born in 68 and for as long as I can remember my parents have been christians. They got into the Way ministries in the early 70's and still receive tapes and literature from The Way. I came across this site one night after surfing the web about The Way. I have heard of people calling The Way a cult in the past, including my current Pastor (Calvary Assembly of God church). I don't ever remember experiencing anything cult like when I was a kid. We went to twig meetings every week and all I remember is the adults doing a bible study while the kids played in the backyard. My family and I never went to church and my parents haven't been to any twig meeting for over 20 years. Both my mother and father are still firm believers in God's word and lead a good christian life. I became born again when I was about eight years old. Being that young there was no change of life experience for me, like what happens to people that get saved later in life. I went through junior high and high school living a life of sin, doing drugs and partying. Being born again to me had no meaning. I knew the things I was doing were wrong but on occasion I would just ask for forgiveness and thought that everything was okay. In 1989 I got married and joined the Air Force. I was stationed in DE 1990 where I still live. It wasn't until 1992 when my wife and I were contimplating divorce we decided that we needed to get grounded in a chuch. The first chuch we attended was non denomenational. The Pastor wanted to come over to the house one night and talk to us. He asked the typical question " if you died today would you go to heaven " and if yes than how do you know. At the end of the meeting he handed me a book about the trinity and wanted me to read it. I read the book and was really confused. I called my dad and he explained the trinity to me. After I told the pastor I didn't belive in the trinity as far as Jesus being God I was shunned immediatly and after about three weeks of being ignored in the church the search was on for a new church. We could not find a chuch in our area that didn't believe in the trinity unless we wanted to become Mormon. My wife and I found Calvary Assembly of God. We have been with this church since 93. While surfing the web I found this site http://www.meta-religion.com/New_religious...ternational.htm This lady was part of The Way ministries and say that she now belives in the trinity. Wow :huh: How does the majority of the people on here stand on the trinity?
