    I think the profile of an infiltrator would be that one which thinks Baptists are the equivalent of the Borg.

    While Baptists know Baptist churches are autonomous.:)

    "I and the Father are one." John 10:30

    John 14:9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

    Isaiah 43:11
    I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior.

    Jesus did not teach the Trinity. "Trinity" does not appear in the Bible. The trinity doctrine entered into the faith hundreds of years after Jesus.

    The council of Nicea is responsible for the triune doctrine entering scripture.

    To believe in their doctrine is to erase all the scripture where God tells you he is one God.
    God is holy, God is a Spirit, God was The Word made flesh that dwelt among us.

    Call me names all you like. Attempt to claim I'm not Christian. You'll never prove I don't believe the words of God.
    In that word "trinity" does not exist.

    "Baptize them in the name of the father,son,Holy Spirit" isn't triune.
    It's singular.
    In the name of....
    One God.

    I believe that our God is a Triune God, one God in three Persons.

    Here is an orthodox illustration of our Trinity's characteristics.

    If we add to the center word "God" with "the Spirit of Yahweh" have we advocated heresy?

    If we add to the lower description, The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, have we misrepresented the Third Person of the Trinity?

    The term "trinity" does exist. It has a meaning. Three distinct Persons, God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit who are the one and the same God.

    No, those are the heresies you seem to advocate.

    Then you should be able to post a scripture where the word "trinity" appears exactly so.

    Sure, you post a Scripture or set of Scriptures that names all 66 Books of the Bible to be the Bible.

    @BasketFinch,
    Some questions.
    1. Are God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit three Persons?
    2. Is there only one true God?
    3. Was and is the man Jesus Christ God too?
    4. Is the Holy Spirit God?

    Are you still looking for a passage where the word, "trinity", appears?
    Remember, the onus is on you to prove what you said earlier. The term trinity appears in scripture .

    That is a non answer. Please give then post# for where either all or each was answered. Thank you. Or just answer the questions again.

    1. Are God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit three Persons?
    2. Is there only one true God?
    3. Was and is the man Jesus Christ God too?
    4. Is the Holy Spirit God?

    To the contrary. It was an answer. If you wish to take issue with my perspective, you should know it fully before jumping in on my one post.
    You want me to go to the effort of repeating myself. No . Make the effort to find my post here.

    No. Do you deny the eternal Sonship of the Son of God? The term "eternal Son" is also not found in the written word either.

    Your disallowing the term Trinity is irrational unless you deny the word of God. The Father is God, John 17:3. The Son is God, John1;1, John 1:14. The Holy Spirit is God, Acts of the Apostles 5:3-4. And there is only one who is God, Isaiah 43:10-11.

    Have you yet found the scripture that supports your earlier claim? The term trinity appears in scripture.

    We are not discussing sonship .
    We're discussing the term trinity. That you stated appears in scripture.

    Not really. You insisted because the term is not found in Scripture the term is not true. Now either you agree the three distinct Persons, God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit are each the same one God or you do not.
