Oneness people gets labelled as "Jesus Only", "cultists" and
various others
in Singapore as well. I agree that the Muslims and the Jews used
Trinity as
an issue to discredit Christianity. Also, I agree that Oneness believers
should not be silent but be vocal about the real identity of Christ
Jesus.
One thing to be cautious about is that we do not put ourselves into the
same positions as many other Trinitrians who obstracize and speak
harshly
about people who do not adhere to their teachings. If we do, what
difference
are we from them? Yes, we believe in the importance of the Oneness
belief
in relation to salvation but this does not qualify us to judge and
sentence
all the trinitrians to hell! By doing so, we might even put some willing
listeners off totally from the Oneness truth. It is going to be the Lord
of Salvation (Jesus) who is going to sit at the Great White Throne and
judge from His own Word. Let Him does the judging and sentencing
while we
do our preaching and believing. Make ourselves vulnerable and
victims to the
attacks of others instead of throwing volleys of fire back to them.
By this,
we are sure that we have a Saviour and Deliverer strong enough to save
us from all the inaccurate accusations about us.
The Oneness message will be and must be preached to all nations,
but with
the right attitude.
