For those who are non denominational Christians.

[Mute]

I was curious if those of you whom are non denominational believe in the trinity. In other words do you believe God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost to be one literal being in one substance and one individual consisting of three parts?

If you do not believe in the trinity, do you believe these three divine persons constituting a single Godhead are united in purpose, in manner, in testimony, in mission with the same godly sense of mercy and love, justice and grace, patience, forgiveness, and redemption which are one in every significant and eternal aspect imaginable except believing them to be three persons combined in one substance?

 

[Stuey]

Yes, I do believe this. But why do I feel this is going to be followed up by a 'If you don't believe this your not saved.' lol

At a guess anyway.

I'm agnostic so you don't have to worry about hearing that from me. I grew up LDS (Mormon) though. LDS do not believe in the trinity. They believe in the second explanation. That is why I am curious as to what non denominational Christians believe.

By the way, I like your avatar.

by "nondenominational" do you mean Christians who are not part of a denomination, or Christians who are part of the denomination titled "nondenominational"?

We or atleast I believe what's written in the Bible, nothing more, nothing less. Anything that I think about God that can't be backed up by scripture is just theory to me. Untill it can be proven or disproven by scripture.

Either one.

Does that mean you don't know or you don't have a belief on it or does it mean you believe one of those can be backed up by scriptures?

 

[pickles]

I believe all are one. But how it works is still a bit of a mistery to me.
Untill I recieve full understanding from Our Lord Jesus I trust all understanding to him.
There are times that I see more clearly how all is, but it is not easly put to words yet.
I believe for now as Jesus has told us.
God bless, pickles

 

[lil-rush]

Either one.

Okay, well I don't have a denomination (I couldn't fit into any one denomination even if I tried), and I believe in the holy trinity.

Umm.....belief in the Trinity is what separates Christians from non-Christians. The hallmark of all heresies is messing around with the true nature of God.

The reason the Community of Christ or the old Restored Church of Latter day Saints is considered Christian, while the Latter day Saints of Utah are not is based on belief in the Trinity.

I do not believe in the trinity, nor do I believe Yeshua is divine in any sense of the word.

I do not believe in the trinity, nor do I believe Yeshua is divine in any sense of the word.

then you have no reason to be here, and I will be the first to say good bye, for you belife you will be banned from this site... be careful what you say here, they are very strick on what you say about Christ.

 

[Captain_Mal]

I'm aware of that However, I'm not here to change anyone's views on the deity of Yeshua, nor am I here to cause division. If my views on the deity of Yeshua are going to cause division, then I will respectfully refrain from voicing them.

Ok; let me explain this to you, Nondenomination; should speak for itself... if anything those who are of a denomination shoul worry about what they are believing and teaching... for never every is it said that the body of Christ is separated into denominations....

for we are not going to be titled or labeled anything that God has not called us according to his Word;
we are full gospel believers. That means what ever the Bible say from Genesis to Revelation, if God said it we believe it , so that will settle it... we will not be in bondage to man made tradictions nor doctrines.... such as a pastors anniversary.. or birthday,,, or boards for members... a deacon board and such... not a pastor hired but called by God ordained by Christ... yes we believe the God is the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit... But for me I dont have to call it a " Trinty" if I don't want to because the bible do not. we are strickly Bible.. and as it was said once I will say it again... If the Word of God don't say it, we want believe it... so if you can't back it up by the Word of God then don't say it.
we do not care who preached it, if they are not preaching or teaching by the Spirit of God their words mean nothing ( their opinions or belief exspecilly their " interpretation" )
Nondenomination only mean don't label me something God did not call me..
we are his children a vessel for the master's uses
we are Christian we are sons and daughters
we are a holy priesthood we are friends of God
a perciular people No longer called servants
the salt of the earth the called; the chosen of God ,not man
a light the anointed'
we are the saved and so much more..................
the righteousness in Christ Jesus
we are bought with a price
The redeemed of the Lord
The seed of Abraham, by faith
The Just; who live by faith

Choose one, any one.. and that is what you can call me or label me.
but I am not a baptist,
orthadox.... Lutheran... catholic.. Pencostal .... calvanist... or any thing that the bible does not call me... I am of a full body.. for it is the Full Gospel of Christ... as the Lord said... I come in the volume of the Book, it is written of me....

Nondenomination is not a denomination, for as I said , it speaks for itself.... it is common sense. how can you be a denomination with a saying I am not of NO denomination..... we are part of the church that is not built with mans hands; as for denominations it is of mans doing; not God's , The Full body of Christ is not separated into parts... nor does it have it's own way of doing thins or teachings.
take out the pride, the greed, the feelings of self worth, all the man made tridictions and doctrines, which is doctrines of devils, take away the man pleaser, and the use of the Word of God to prosper in the flesh, and do it exactly as God said to do it...
and you will come up with us... nonedenominational children of God.
Hope you can understand that.

The term nondenominational is a misnomer. All nondenominational churches within the Christian faith, believe the tenets of Protestantism - sola scriptura, sola fide, sola gratia. They are a Protestant denomination. I think it is funny though that most Protestants call the Orthodox and RCC churches denominations - it is sort of like me calling my parents siblings.

The first nondenominational churches were persecuted by Lutherans and Calvinist - they were called Anabaptists.

what about the abigensians and waldensians? they were persecuted by popery and the papist historians misrepresented the fact that they were actually premill pretrib dispensationists

I've already address this fallacy - would you like to answer the question I posed to you regarding this topic? Do you consider gnosticism, Christian doctrine?

Cathar's doctrine has more similarities to Jehovahs Witness doctrine then Christian doctrine.

One of my relatives attends a non denominational church where no one believes in the trinity. I would disagree that the trinity is what separates Christians from non Christians since it is a 4th or 5th century A.D. belief. In my opinion a Christian is a person who believes in and follows Christ regardless of their interpretation of scripture.

So you do personally believe in the trinity, you just don't call it that. One reason people may join a church is because they are unsure on the meaning of a scripture. Every church except for those that are non denominational or in a non denominational church have a set belief regarding the trinity. That is why I was curious as to how a person would interpret the scriptures without having the influence of a particular church regarding the trinity.

You can disagree with me if you want, but you would also be disagreeing with 2000 years of Christian doctrine.
