Calling out sonship ...
Sonship here is a copy/paste from the statement of beliefs from the website of your own church sect:
”In order to be saved, one must have a living faith in the Person and work of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Every genuinely saved one has what the Bible calls the “common faith” (Titus 1:4), which includes what we must believe in order to be saved: we must believe that the Bible is the complete divine revelation wholly inspired by God; that there is a unique Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit; that Jesus Christ is the Son of God incarnated to be a man; that Christ died on the cross for our sins, shedding His blood for our redemption; that on the third day He was bodily raised from the dead; that He has been exalted to the right hand of God and made the Lord of all; and that He is coming again for His own and to set up His kingdom on earth.”

Sonship I am calling out this statement claiming that salvation is linked to believing in the trinity doctrine as being gross error.
Feel free to correct me if you think I’m wrong.....

BY writing "hairdryer" that somehow proves you've gotten anywhere at all in false accusations against the local churches ... Still no pinpointing of a wrong Christian teaching with any effectiveness.
I’m pinpointing the wrong teaching, here, in this thread sonship.
I’m waiting for you to tell me that I’m wrong.

@sonship saidIt is my favourite thread in my entire 11 years of membership here. (and possibly “Spectators in Hell”.)
A good thread to read from the beginning here.
This thread beautifuly exposes your church’s erroneous and cultish teaching, but also your determination to neither agree with nor deny their statement of belief in the trinity and salvation.
It’s a tiny thing yes, but it’s a gem.

But I am not sure that you believe in the complete Deity of Jesus Christ. Why is there this ambiguity?
Too often beneath the surface of those who argue about the Three-oneness of God lies a disbelief in the full Deity of Christ.
Why would you argue that the office of the Son of God goes away if you are a Christian ?
@sonship saidPlease feel free to start a thread on it and will openly and honestly contribute in it. Providing of course you have unequivocally answered the question in this thread.

You called me out. So here I am.
You say in essence PROUDLY - "The local churches reject me as a Christian because I do not believe in the doctrine of the Ttinity."
Though you have never attended a Lord's Table meeting at one to SEE if you would be received or not.
Now I ask you - Maybe it is a problem you have with the Deity of Jesus Christ - that you doubt that He is really God become a man.
So do you have doubt in the full deity of Christ that He is God - man ?

Bump for sonship 🙂
Do you mean "bump and hide" Divegeester?
Are you afraid to positively identify yourself as a Unitarian ?
Why have you never identified and practical congregation of fellow worshippers that you meet with? Why? Why is this always concealed by you?
I met four or years with the church in New York
They now have seven or eight meeting halls. Here is a map of the locations of their meeting halls in the city of New York.

I met about 16 years with the church in Dunn Loring, VA.
Here's thier website:

Why are you so shy about confessing who you met or meet with ? Are you some kind of one man congregation?
@sonship saidI know you don’t want to honestly answer my question, you’ve made that very clear. I guess anyone following the thread will have to draw their own conclusions as to why.
