Apostolic Faith Against The Trinity Doctrine by cosiocan(m): 3:58pm On Jun 19, 2015
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy said, who had ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who had bound the waters in a garment? Who had established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? Notice, that this prophecy undeniably declared; God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ as the only divine persons.
(Prov. 30:4)
"For there is only ONE God, and only ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
(1 Timothy 2:5).
"And there is no other God but one and even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is only ONE God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and only ONE Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live". Notice, Paul says that there is “one God,” who is not the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but “the Father.”
(1Corinthians 8:5-6).
Therefore I believe that God the Father is the Person of the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus; because God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself (2Cor 5:19).
And Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Person of the Holy Spirit in us the saints, because through Him we have access by one Spirit unto the Father
(Ephesians 2:18).
Christ himself illustrated this divine relationship, when He prayed for the unity of the saints saying, the glory which you (the Father) has given me I have given to them: that they (the saints) may be one, even as we (the Father and the Son) are one. I (Christ) in them (the saints) and you (the Father) in me (christ), that they may be made perfect in one. We can deduce from this illustration, that the Father is the person in Christ and Christ is the person in the saints. However this relationship is possible through the Holy Spirit.
(John 17:22-23)
As it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam Christ became a life-giving Spirit. (The Holy Spirit)
(1 Corinthians 15:45)
Interestingly, this is how we know that the Son of God abides in us, we know it by the Holy Spirit whom He has given us. Because he that is joined unto the Lord Jesus Christ is One Spirit with the Lord
(1 John 3:24). (1 Corinthians 6:17)

Interesting. As far as I know the Jehovah's Witnesses are the only 'Christian Group' who reject the Trinity. They have even gone so far as to omit translating the definite article (the word 'the') from their version of the Bible, referring only to holy spirit (note - no capitals) while all other versions use 'the Holy Spirit' including the word 'the' and capitalising 'Holy' and 'Spirit'.

This rejection of the Trinity is enough, in the eyes of MANY Christians, to make them consider the JW's a non Christian Cult. (Possibly a bit extreme but I merely point out the fact and neither support or disagree with it).

I would be very interested in knowing which other group(s) reject the Trinity. For my own part I find it very difficult to comprehend how a group can reject such a central tenet of Christianity. Of course by quoting translated bible verses in isolation you can justify just about ANY proposition smiley but taken as a coherent whole the Trinity seems integral.
