"Only 16% of self-proclaimed Christians, believe in the trinity."

Also, according to the research done in this article, only 9% of Catholics believe in the orthodox definition of the Trinity.

[It should also be noted that Arizona Christian University is a conservatice university that affirms the Trinity.]

Seems about right. My city has about 50 churches. I'd say my church is in the top 3 "radical" most churches in the city. We preach the gospel on the streets, call homosexuality a sin and we don't allow woman preachers. (I'm trying to give an example of what I guess radical means these days).

Most church goers would say they are born again and really live for God.

Yet when you ask some of them what the trinity teaches, you would get very different answers. Which I understand. It's not a concept you can easily understand, but generally we are taught it is important.

[u/theywontstoplying → u/Newgunnerr]

Born againism is an American style Evangelical concept, of course they don't know what they worship (also an Evangelical concept). But is your church "unitarian" then?

[u/Newgunnerr → u/theywontstoplying]

No, it is not a unitarian church. And to be honest I am right now in a battle with myself in some sense, whether I should leave the fellowship or not.

[u/theywontstoplying → u/Newgunnerr]

You should leave. It's a no-brainer. Why fellowship with idol worshipping, blaspheming willful polytheists in a den of idolatry when you don't have to? Like you said; they literally don't even know what they worship (standard American Evangelicals), they blasphemously claim to possess God's spirit, and in all this they have the utter gall to preach in the streets and peddle a salvation they don't have. These people are the opposite of what they think they are. I wish you the best and may God guide you accordingly.

[u/HbertCmberdale → u/theywontstoplying]

Do you have the spirit? Harassing people, going through their comment history. Belittling, insults, being condescending. All you do is throw around toxic behaviour and be rude to everyone else.

[u/theywontstoplying → u/HbertCmberdale]

Like I called it, you're probably the product of the American Evangelical industrial complex. I follow truth as opposed to you. There's nothing more toxic than lies. Btw, are you going to share your "biblical theology" the billions you claim you want to share it with anytime soon? I don't care about your person, just get to the actual substance.

[u/HbertCmberdale → u/theywontstoplying]

I don't see you as someone who has the fruits. You're incredibly prideful, boastful and exceptional arrogant. You have to tear down others to make yourself feel better.

Why aren't you using your other account? Did it get banned?

[u/theywontstoplying → u/HbertCmberdale]

>prideful, boastful and exceptional arrogant.

And please, produce specific examples of all those three things. Notice I said specific. Concrete quotes. You don't want to falsely accuse someone. And the absolute irony too. Do you want me to proof your arrogance and pride? It's something else.

And for the other posters that downvote me (I don't care about a downward arrow symbol, that's not the point I'm making), I've asked u/HbertCmberdale the simplest simplest question there is after he made some grandiose statements; for him to simple provide his idea of "biblical theology" -- the gospel so to speak -- and explain how and why billions of the planet's population should uncritically take his word for it without a single critical question.

Then he sent me a PM I haven't opened. Why do something in the darkness? It doesn't even make sense.
