- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Sometimes a question that comes up from people is,
- 00:18
- Do you have to believe in the Trinity to be saved? This is a tricky question because the fact is that you don't have to actually believe in all of the essentials of the
- 00:30
- Trinity to be saved. I did not. I did not know anything about the Trinity when I became a Christian.
- 00:36
- It wasn't until six years later that I learned the doctrine of the Trinity. However, what you do have to believe is that Jesus Christ is
- 00:44
- God. That you do have to believe to be saved. Do you understand everything of the
- 00:50
- Trinity? No. I did not understand the Trinity when I became a believer, but I did know that Jesus Christ was
- 00:55
- God. How could He be dying on the cross and still controlling all things in the universe? Well, He's God.
- 01:02
- I didn't understand it. But I knew that God was greater than my ability to understand. So, I don't believe that someone has to believe in the
- 01:10
- Trinity to be saved. However, if someone understands the doctrine of the Trinity, understands what it teaches, that Jesus is
- 01:18
- God, and denies that, then I have a very hard time believing that they could be saved.
- 01:25
- Because they understand the truth, they understand the doctrine of the Trinity, and deny it, they're essentially denying that Jesus Christ is
- 01:34
- God. And to deny that Jesus is God is to be outside the realm of salvation.
- 01:41
- We must believe that Jesus Christ is God to be saved. This podcast is part of the
