Am I doomed to hell if I don't believe in the trinity?

Question

I find the trinity hard to believe being that it's not in the bible.
Does it even matter? Can I still be saved if I dont believe in the trinity? Is it a "maker or breaker", when it comes to salvation?

Answer 1

The trinity is in the Bible. Jesus said that he was ascending to his Father and would send the Holy Spirit in his place.

Does it matter? Well, yeah. When you accept salvation, you come to better know God the Father through Christ's mercy, and part of how you come to know God better is by heeding the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is sent to you once you accept Christ.

As for whether or not you can still be saved if you don't believe this, it's a moot point. If you accept salvation, you will be sent the Holy Spirit, and you will--if you heed that guidance--come to know God the Father better. That is, whether you believe this beforehand or not, it is what will happen in your life if you are earnestly seeking the will of God.

Answer 2

You will end up in hell if you have been presented the Good News of Jesus Christ & Saving Grace correctly, and you then rejected it. Because that is calling God a liar & being rebellious.

Jesus Christ revealed He is the I AM, the Way Truth & Life. Understanding of the trinity comes with learning the Truth about God.

Believing in Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God (born of a virgin without sin nature) & confessing Jesus Christ Lord, believing in your heart the Atonement & Resurrection, is what gets you into heaven. Of course, you have to receive it through faith. Once a child of God by adoption, you inherit the Kingdom of God (everlasting life +).

As a born of God Christian, God will show you in your spirit the truth of God and all that God Is. Instead of trying to believe in the Trinity, just meditate on the verses of God when He represents Himself as a Trinity. Like when Jesus was water baptized. Or like we are also to be baptised in the Name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. And 3 John 5:7 There are 3 that bear record in heaven; the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Answer 3

The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God (cf. John 8:58, 10:38, 14:10; Col. 2:9). It also clearly teaches that the Holy Spirit is God (cf. Acts 5:3–4, 28:25–28; 1 Cor. 2:10–13). Everyone agrees the Father is God. Yet there is only one God (Mark 12:29, 1 Cor. 8:4–6, Jas. 2:19).

Jesus tells his apostles to baptize "in the name [notice, singular, not plural] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). This is a proof-text: three distinct Persons united in the one divine name. In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul writes, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." We see this same unity of divine Persons in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Ephesians 4:4–6, and 1 Peter 1:2–3.

Answer 4

trinity is three. All numbers are significant becuase they are aligned with the logical part of your brain. The point is you can make any three things significant. You, your purpose, and God, for example. Or Body, Mind, and Soul, is another example. The flaw of the trinity is that Father, son, and holy spirit are supposed to be seperate but the same, so anything that is equal and not equal appears to be a logical flaw. The simplification of body, mind, soul, for example, is that those three are one, because it is part of a human being, but they are different becuase you have a body, and you use your mind, and the higher self/soul, is the, you know, goodness stuff. So in my opinion, trinity is all make believe, so make believe whatever you wish as long as your heart doesn't completely reject it.

Answer 5

Lets see: God is in the Bible; God said this is my Son; and Christ said I will leave my Spirit with you (The Holy Spirit). Also the Bible said "We were there from the beginning." Since you have not read these things, I don't think you have read the Bible. Read the Bible and you might change your mind. Jesus said if you see me you see the Father. I don't know which of the 3 in the trinity you don't believe in, but I do know you can't go to heaven if you don't believe in Jesus, and if you believe in Jesus, then the Holy Spirit has convicted you. So is it God you don't believe in? Probably not.

Answer 6

Friend there is no trinity in the bible, That is something the anti-christ spirit brought up, There is ONLY ONE GOD, some say Jesus was GOD, no he was Not, He was the Son of God, What Die on calvery, Did God die, NO, God is a spirit, & not a person, Those who believe in a trinity then worship 3 different things, There fore they have 2 extra things they are worshipping, & GOD said thou shall have no Other Gods before him. You have God working in 3 Offices of his glory, God as the Father & Creator, God in Jesus reconciling the world back to himself through that of Jesus Christ & God The Holy Ghost, But all The same spirit, Example, I am a Husband, & daddy, & a Grandfather, Am I, 3 persons or spirits, NO, BUT I am holding by One spirit 3 differant Offices. No you are not lost by rejecting the trinity.

Answer 7

In order to be saved, you must believe in the Son of God. If you deny him, then he will deny you before the father. So yes, you will go to hell if you don't because it's heretical and unbiblical not to. Sorry, but it's the truth.
Zechariah 4:11-14
11 Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?"

12 Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?"

13 He replied, "Do you not know what these are?"
"No, my lord," I said.

14 So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to [b] serve the Lord of all the earth."

Answer 8

You can't come to the Father, without the Son and if you say the Holy Spirit isn't real, then that's blasphemous. That's an unforgivable sin. John chapter 16 is Christ speaking, making reference to God, the father in vs. 5 and in Vs. 7, he's telling them of the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit. The rest of the verses goes on to tell the function of the Holy Spirit.

Answer 9

Many Christians begin to learn about the Trinity through knowledge of Baptism. This is also a starting point for others in comprehending why the doctrine matters to so many Christians, even though the doctrine itself teaches that the being of God is beyond complete comprehension. The Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed are structured around profession of the Trinity, and are solemnly professed by converts to Christianity when they receive baptism, and in the Church's liturgy, particularly when celebrating the Eucharist. One or both of these creeds are often used as brief summations of Christian faith by mainstream denominations.

One God
God is one, and the Godhead a single being: The Hebrew Scriptures lift this one article of faith above others, and surround it with stern warnings against departure from this central issue of faith, and of faithfulness to the covenant God had made with them. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD" (Deuteronomy 6:4) (the Shema), "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7) and, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6). Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament. The same insistence is found in the New Testament: "...there is none other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4). The "other gods" warned against are therefore not gods at all, but substitutes for God, and so are, according to St. Paul, simply mythological or are demons.

So, in the trinitarian view, the common conception which thinks of the Father and Christ as two separate beings, is incorrect. The central, and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior, God, and one salvation, manifest in Jesus Christ, to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Old is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, it is understood that statements about a solitary god are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view, which see divine power as shared by several separate beings, beings which can, and do, disagree and have conflicts with each other. The concept of Many comprising One is quite visible in the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23.

God exists in three persons

The "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional Western Christian symbolism.This one God however exists in three persons, or in the Greek hypostases. God has but a single divine nature. Chalcedonians — Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants — hold that, in addition, the Second Person of the Trinity — God the Son, Jesus — assumed human nature, so that he has two natures (and hence two wills), and is really and fully both true God and true human.


The singleness of God's being and the multiplicity of the Divine Persons together account for the nature of Christian salvation, and disclose the gift of eternal life. "Through the Son we have access to the Father in one Spirit" (Ephesians 2:18). Communion with the Father is the goal of the Christian faith and is eternal life. It is given to humans through the Divine union with humanity in Jesus Christ who, although fully God, died for sinners "in the flesh" to accomplish their redemption, and this forgiveness, restoration, and friendship with God is made accessible through the gift to the Church of the Holy Spirit, who, being God, knows the Divine Essence intimately and leads and empowers the Christian to fulfill the will of God. Thus, this doctrine touches on every aspect of the trinitarian Christian's faith and life; and this explains why it has been so earnestly contended for, throughout Christian history.

Answer 10

Have you read the bible!!!!! The trinity is all over in the word. old and new testament. Jesus called God his Father. The Holy Ghost is mentioned in the beginning in Genesis. The beginning of the book of John states that Jesus is the word of God who became flesh and dwelt among us. He was with God in the beginning and actually was God. When you believe in God you believe in the trinity it is like saying that you believe in light but don't believe in the sun.

Father I pray that you open this mans eyes to your word that you show Him the true meaning of your word. I ask that the Holy spirit reveal things to him in a new and profound way. In the might name of Jesus I ask these things...
