I believe the answer should be no. I believe in the oneness of God, but I do not believe that a person believing in the trinity doctrine cannot be filled with the spirit of God. Unequivocal.
Your go.
Firstly, I don't read some posters' comments anymore ... period.
So I may have no idea of what someone else, you consider having said something significant, said.
Secondly, you seemed to have gotten something out of your system. Good for you.
I don't think every talk I embark on concerning the triune nature of God HAS to stop in its tracks in order to discuss the assurance of salvation.
If you think every thread about the Trinity will be immediately halted and diverted to talk about assurance of salvation, I won't let that stop me from talking about the Trinity.
I believe the answer should be no. I believe in the oneness of God, but I do not believe that a person believing in the trinity doctrine cannot be filled with the spirit of God. Unequivocal.
I think you meant to write "I do not believe that a person [NOT] believing in the trinity doctrine cannot be filled with the spirit of God. Uniquivocal."
I assume you left out the word "not".
I have nothing particular to add except I too believe in the oneness of God.
God's nature is very mysterious. And the Bible shows that He is one in three and three in one.
If you think you can prove that the Bible does NOT show that, I have left plenty of questions concerning that on the thread on John 16. You can attempt to argue that the answers you propose there do not suggest a Tri-une God.
