    Good luck in your attempt to save yourself.
    I don't think there is much chance of that happening though.

    Saved from yours sins and the punishment of eternal torment.
    No need to pray for you. I'm sure you would not like that, so
    I will only wish you good luck.

    Nothing wrong with Jesus. I'm sure he finds what has happened to his message to be very sad. The Christian church has very little to do with Jesus. Common sense tells you something is totally messed up with the Christian doctrine. It's not even a charming story. Most religions charm you in witha pleasant story, but the Christian story is soo vile that I'm amazed anyone ever found it appealing. What is there is like about the Christian story ? See it my way or go to Hell is the message. Not very pretty.

    It is very pretty, if you make the right choice. And that is easy to do.
    Just repent of your sins and trust in Jesus, who is faithful and true.
    That does not mean trusting in a church; only Jesus saves.

    If someone holds a gun to my head and says worship me or I will blow your head off I might do it out of fear, but is that what religion or God suppose to be like ? The whole idea of you must become a Christian or you will be punished for an eternity sounds like cruel and unusual punishment, and would considered savage by any civilized personage. When you offer a person a way out by sending someone to die on the cross as a Blood sacrifice to appease an angry God then you have just stepped back in time to the stone age. Primitive concept of God to say the least.

    God gave you the free will to either love and obey him or hate and
    disobey him. You chose to hate and disobey him because you did
    not think it was fair that you could not do anything you wanted to.
    But a father has to punish his child for disobedience else he will
    always be bad. But all you have to do is return and love and obey
    your heavenly Father God, who has adopted you; and He will forgive
    you. And you want even have to receive the punishment you deserve,
    because His only begotten Son has volunteered to take your punishment
    for you. So you need only accept this free gift and repent.

    But that's because you believe in a Father in the name of Lord Jesus.

    It also doesn't seem like a deep faith, to believe because you will suffer if you don't.

    I don't know who Dr. Walter Martin is, but I would trust the members of a faith to describe their beliefs more than an outsider with an agenda against that belief system. Do they really believe in their ability to save themselves from the "awful penalty of sin?" That would require a belief in the awful penalty of sin. It would require a belief in sin. Do Unitarians believe in either? If not then Dr. Martin's comment doesn't make any sense at all.

    The following is the first paragraph of the article on Unitarianism
    from wikipedia:

    Unitarianism is a Christian theological movement, named for its understanding of God as one person, namely God the Father, existing separate from Jesus, in direct contrast to Trinitarianism which defines God as three persons coexisting consubstantially as one in being. It is also known for the rejection of several orthodox doctrines besides the Trinity, including the soteriological doctrines of original sin and predestination, and biblical inerrancy.

    They seem to believe man can do good and evil. Perhaps doing evil
    is not sin to them. You may have a point since they apparently don't
    accept the orignal sin idea of Adam and eve. Therefore, they would not
    need a savior. Wikipedia says there is no centralized authority as to what
    all their beliefs are.
