Yes. There are many. Most who believe in the trinity will say they aren't Christian because they don't accept that one concept. What they fail to see is that the definition of a Christian isn't defined by the belief in the trinity. It's defined by belief in Christ.
Here is a list of the ones that are the most well known.
* Christadelphianism
* Christian Science
* Jehovah’s Witnesses
* Mormonism/Restorationism - there are over thirty Mormon sects, the majority of which adhere to a non-Trinitarian theology (The Community of Christ does not)
* The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (biggest, best known Mormon group)
* Arian Catholicism
* Unitarianism
* Nontrinitarianism
* Oneness Pentecostals

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in a trinity because the Bible does not teach a trinity.
Non-Christian religions have had trinities for centuries, and false Christians for various reasons adopted such a view of the Biblical God, and now accuse the religions that have not defiled the truth of God's word with pagan teaching CULTS.
It is just a way of avoiding having to justify adopting pagan teachings because we can explain why we don't believe in a trinity, and they can't explain their position, saying "It's a mystery" ("We worship what we know"- John 4:22)
They know that if they accept the Bible truth that God is not a trinity, then they'll have to admit that the Witnesses were right all along. They can't have THAT happening, now can they?

The idea of the trinity being one person was created (by the Catholic church) to explain away the possibility that Christianity is polytheistic. It is possible to believe in the trinity as 3 separate beings and still be Christian so long as you believe in Christ.

What do you mean by 'trinity'? Because there are many that do not believe that The Father, The Son, and The Spirit are the same being, but they still believe in the the three as seperate individuals. The term Christian refers to one who follows Christ, which would mean that anyone who still followed Christ and His teachings would be a Christian, whether or not they held to the incomprehensilble view of three in one.

Guess what, themes such as TRINITY, and JESUS the son of God, who is God incarnated and stuff like that which might be confusing.
Is part of the "advanced" aspets of christianity, you could get tremendous information from the gnostic gospels.
What are the gnostic gospels?, well the gospels that were not aproved by the catholic church of course, but they are real. And the only reason why they were not aproved is because one of the popes believed that 4 was the perfect number, and so he selected only 4 gospels that were similar in the written style, etc. To be the pillars of the catholic church.

I am One God Apostolic. There are many of us world wide. I do not believe in the trinity. I believe in One God only . The Bible has many more verses stating that God is one than you can find that He is three. Jesus created the world. Jesus is/was God from the beginning. He became man to die nd save uf as the sacrificial lamb. I am a Christian. Christians are believers in Jesus the Christ.

Jehovah s witnesses trust JesusChrist is God s son, consequently are christians. they don't trust in pagan doctrines consisting of the trinity. bypass back and study historic pagan religions, a lot of them had their 3-in-a million pagan gods. with the intention to remodel pagan peoples to christianity, concessions were made, consequently the Council of Nicea. The concessions and the blend of beliefs made it a lot less stressful for the pagans to settle for christianity; consequently, christianity became tainted with pagan beliefs consisting of the trinity. The Catholic church did a similar component with the indigenous human beings of Mexico. The indians believed of their goddess. So the catholic church created a sparkling female deity for them, the Virgin of Guadalupe. This made the natives satisfied and time-honored catholicism. same component.

The trinity belife is a Christian essential, Jesus taught it. He also said if you love Me you will do as I have said. So if you claim to be a christian & don't believe in the trinity you are not a christian. Why would Jesus pray to the Father & send the Holy Spirit. Where is Jesus now where is the Holy Spirit where is the Father ?
