Is the Trinity a "Salvation Issue?"
Notes de l’épisode
I believe the Christian doctrine of the Trinity is true. But is that the same as saying it's a "salvation issue?"
In Evangelical parlance, "salvation issues" are essentially those things you have to believe to be saved. They're similar to "dogmas" in other traditions.
In this video, I explore the question of whether or not the doctrine of the trinity fits this description. Part of exploring this question involves exploring the nature of faith, the function of dogmas, and how the doctrine of the trinity relates to salvation.
