The doctrine of the Trinity
michaelf:
Rom 8:10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
To Be a Christian one has to believe that Jesus IS the Christ (Tick)
In his wisdom God chose to describe himself is as "three in One" but we glean it from multiple passages across the bible. However as it was not declared like that by God I do not declare it either.
Are there multiple aspects/persons within the God head - it would appear so yes. Are there only 3 ? It does not say so. three are talked about. Do I understand that? NO. If my understanding differs from the bible then my understanding in faulty. I can live with that. Does God give us a label to define the God head structure - not that I am aware of, No.
If God chose not to declare it is it ok for people to make assumptions and give it a label - Risky and unwise. Is it essential to acknowledge a trinity to be a believer -verse please......No.

Is it essential to acknowledge the deity of Christ? I think that is where the rub is when discussing the Trinity. Worshiping one God become becomes very tricky when you break up the Trinity into separate entities.

Agree it is essential to acknowledge the deity of Christ.
Interestingly I cannot find the HS being worshiped - prayed to - talked to.
Again I acknowledge my understanding is reaching to its limits as to why and then beyond because it does not make sense to me but I can be content in my lack of understanding.

Paul spoke of many mysteries in time we will know, be patient :)
Colossians 2
2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
