can you reject the trinity & still be saved?

As a new born-again Christian, one of the most difficult concepts to get my head around was the concept of the Trinity - the Triune God. I remember thinking, "how can one God be three people? How is that even possible? I must find out what all this means!"

I have since spent the past 5 years studying the Bible and listening to hundreds of sermons and Christian's speakers, and I have come to realize that the Trinity is a key aspect to the Christian faith. I like the way Bibles.net puts it.....

"The doctrine of the Trinity is essential to the Christian faith. Believing in God’s Triune being is how the church guards against false interpretations of the biblical understanding of who God is, what he is like, how he works in the world, and how he relates to us. In short, the Trinity distinguishes Christianity from all other religions. The God of the Bible is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To take away any one of these persons is to no longer talk about the God of the Bible at all."

I agree with this statement.

I also agree with Allen's position in the video below - that a new believer who doesn't fully understand the Trinity yet can still receive salvation from God (this was certainly true for me), however a person who calls Jesus their Saviour, but openly rejects the Trinity - meaning they have been told about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, but reject this Truth when they hear it - is not a true believer. They are not saved because if they reject the Trinity than they believe in a different Jesus - and there is only one Jesus Christ that has the power to save - the LORD Jesus Christ who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth - the alpha and the omega - the great "I AM'.

Only the One True Living God has the power to save you and He is the God of the Bible and the God of the Bible is a Triune God (three in one). If you are having a hard time understanding this concept, I encourage you to spend time seeking out additional resources and reading His Word for yourself.​

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
​
- Matthew 7:7 ​

Below is a study guide created by Allen Parr. It provides scripture that highlights the parts of the Bible that talk about each person in the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

I also advise you to stay away from "doctrines of devils" (1 Timothy 4). These include (but are not limited to) the following false teachings about Christ:
​

1. Mormonism
2. Jehovah’s Witnesses
3. Christian Universalism
4. Progressive Christians
5. Roman Catholics

These religious groups teach doctrines that are contrary to scripture;  salvation is works-based, Jesus is a created being, a priest can be your mediator, adoration of Mary is acceptable, praying to saints instead of Father God is not idolatry, Jesus and Lucifer are spirit brothers, people can become Gods, hell doesn't exist, Jesus isn't God, and so much other blasphemy that it makes my head spin......

If you are a new believer, I encourage you to learn from my mistakes and stay far, far away from these groups. They will confuse you and make it difficult for you to discern truth from lies. Visit my resource section for a list of Bible-believing, born again, historical Christians. I also recommended purchasing "Another Gospel" by Alisa Childers.
​
This book really is fantastic. It taught me so much about the authenticity of the Bible and how to respond to the popular lies peddled by false teachers. Plus the back of the book is filled with additional resources to help you on your search for Truth.

Finally, Allen did one more video that I think you should watch today. It's titled, "Is Jesus Really God". Again, I want to emphasis that only God can save you - so if you call yourself a Christian, but don't believe that Jesus is God in the flesh, then who exactly are you trusting to save you?

My advice? Watch the video, seek for more information, read God's Word and pray for wisdom.

God bless you friend,
