What is Trinitarianism? Biblical trinitarianism Is? : Trinitarianism is the teaching that God is Triune, that He has revealed Himself in three co-equal and co-eternal Persons. For a detailed presentation of the Bible on the Trinity, The purpose of this article is to consider the importance of Trinitarianism in relation to salvation and Christian living. We are asking the question so often, I have to believe in the Trinity to be saved? The answer is - yes and no. Need a person fully understand and agree with every aspect of Trinitarianism to be saved? No. Are there any aspects of Trinitarianism that play important roles in salvation? Yes, for example, the deity of Christ is crucially important in the doctrine of salvation. If Jesus was not God, His death could not have paid the infinite penalty of sin. Only God is infinite - He had no beginning and He has no end. All creatures, including angels, are finite - was created sometime. Only the death of an infinite Being could expiate the sin of mankind throughout eternity. If Jesus was not God, He could not be the Savior, the Messiah, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). An unbiblical view of the divine nature of Jesus is a misconception salvation. Any Christian sect that denies the true deity of Christ also teaches that we should add our works to the death of Christ to be saved. Full and true deity of Christ, one aspect of trinitarianism, refutes this concept. At the same time, we recognize that there are some genuine Christians who do not hold a full Trinitarianism. While we reject modalism not deny that a person can be saved without believing that God is Three Persons, but rather simply revealed in three modes. The Trinity is a mystery that no human being can understand completely or perfectly. For a person to receive salvation, God requires you to trust in Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, as Savior. For a person to receive salvation, God does not require a complete adherence to every precept of sound biblical theology. No complete agreement with all aspects of Trinitarianism is not required to experience salvation. We hold firmly that Trinitarianism is a doctrine based on the Bible. Proclaim dogmatically that an understanding and belief in a biblical Trinitarianism is crucially important to understand God, salvation, and operational work in the lives of believers. At the same time, there have been holy men, genuine followers of Christ, who have disagreed with some aspects of Trinitarianism. It is important to remember that we are not saved by having a perfect doctrine. We are saved by trusting our perfect Savior (John 3:16). Do we need to believe in some areas of Trinitarianism to be saved?Yup! Do we need to be in complete agreement on all aspects of Trinitarianism to be saved? No.
