All the trinity is is the admission that Jesus was the son of the Father, and himself sharing an essence with God. That is how it is able to be said that there is only 1 God and only he should be worshipped, yet Jesus was worshipped also and accepted it.
Jesus many times very overtly took the place of God that only he could if he were God himself.
No, if people deny the deity of Christ, what was so special about him that he should be able to save them? CS Lewis rightly pointed out that by just calling Jesus a good teacher reduces him to either a lunatic, or a liar at best. Jesus himself claimed to be the author of life and salvation and if we cant believe that, then we have no hope of attaining that life.

That's a difficult question. You are saved by asking Christ to cleanse you of your sins and take over as Lord of your life, but the Trinity is looked at as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And Matthew 12:31 says that blaspheming the Spirit is the only unforgivable sin. I'm not sure what to tell you.

It is apparent by the book of Genesis that God is a "we"... in several places in the first part of the book it says.. "we", "us". So who is the "we" and "us" then?
And, the book of John says that Jesus was with the Father all along. I have a much more difficult time understanding the Holy Spirit being a part of the equation, but it is also talked of and discussed as being the deposit guaranteeing our salvation.
This is all in the scripture... so, I believe it, regardless of whether or not I understand. Just simply because it is there... and, I know that I need to believe what God tells me. SO... for me, I do not see how I could not believe it and be saved. I mean... am I supposed to pick and choose what to believe and not to believe?
You cannot ask this of others... to tell you if you will be saved or not. It is right there...in the bible. God tells you what He wants you to understand, believe and do. You are either going to believe it or not. I am more concerned about trying to follow God the best I can, than trying to convince you to deny or believe something. But, I do care enough to answer you with what I believe about it.
I could not fail to believe that they are at least three parts of "God" represented in the scripture... the son, the Father and the Holy Spirit. Whatever label people wish to give it... "Trinity" makes no difference to me.

How can you really be saved if you deny who is saving you? The trinity = Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

The trinity was in invention and imposition of Emperor Constantine, who was not even a Christian at the time. Don't worry!

The trinity is confusing. Makes no sense what so ever.

You probably are not. If you deny Jesus, for sure. If you deny the Holy Spirit you probably haven't been convicted of your sin. If you deny God, then He will deny you. You don't stand a chance.

You're saved by the blood of Christ and by your faith & trust in Him.....and by His resurrection too, of course.
The trinity is Scriptural.......and it is imperative that you believe in the authenticity and inspiration of it.
Why would you deny the truth....especially when it comes straight from the mouth of God?

No, if you deny Jesus or the Holy Ghost you also deny God.
