What is the difference between a Trinitarian Christian, Ditheistic/Binitarian Christian, and a Oneness Apostolic Christian?

These terms will be fully explained in my next book. However, I would like to say that most of the Protestant Christians churches in the world today are Trinitarians and they are not strictly monotheistic. To be specific, the three most prominent Christian faiths are as follows;

Trinitarian Christians – Trinitarian Christians believe that there are three persons in one God. This is a type of tritheistic, polytheistic and/or paganistic doctrine. They are not strictly monotheistic, even though, they say they are. There are no scriptures to verify the Trinitarian Doctrine. The Trinitarian doctrine is an assumption about the nature of God and is not a sound doctrine because it is not in the Bible and can’t be logically understood based and the Word of God. (Colossians 2:8-9, I Timothy 3:16, II Timothy 3:16, Titus 1:9, 2:1). (Example: Most protestants are Trinitarians. Jehovah’s Witnesses, Unitarians and oneness Apostolic Christians are exceptions)

Ditheistic/Binitarian Christians – Ditheistic/Binitarian Christians believe that there are two separate deities. For example: One big God – the Father and one lesser god – The Son. In other words, one god is subordinate to the other God. This is a polytheistic, subordination type doctrine. They are not strictly monotheistic, even though, they say they are. There are no scriptures to verify a Ditheistic, Binitarian, or Subordination Doctrine. Ditheism is not a sound doctrine because it is not in the Bible and can’t be logically understood based on man’s knowledge of the Word of God (Colossians 2:8-9, I Timothy 3:16, II Timothy 3:16, Titus 1:9, 2:1). (Example: Jehovah’s Witnesses, Unitarians)

Oneness Apostolic Christians – Oneness Apostolic Christians believes that there is only one God and that one God has put the fullness of his Godhead in the body of Jesus Christ – Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9. John 1:1-14 (God was made flesh), John 14:7-9 (Jesus is the everlasting Father - Isaiah 9:6), Acts 9:1-5 (God speaks out of heaven and tells us his name – Jesus). This event on the road to Damascus proves that Jesus Christ went back into his Spirit form in a type of Spiritual body - I Corinthians 10:4), II Corinthians 5:19 (God was in Christ), Colossians 1:14-19 (The fullness of God is in the body of Christ Colossians 2:8-12, which verifies I Corinthians 10:4).

In other words, Oneness Apostolic Christians believe that the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost mentioned in Matthew 28:19, is Jesus Christ and that name is verified in Acts 2:38, Acts 19:1-5, and all of the baptisms mentioned in the book of Acts of the apostles. Oneness Apostolic Christians are strictly monotheistic and believe in the full Deity of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 9:6 - The everlasting Father), I Corinthians 10:4 (Jesus Christ in his Spirit form before birth), I Timothy 3:16 (Jesus is a manifestation of God himself – John 1:14, I John 1:1), I John 5:20 (Jesus is the only true God), Jude 1:25 (Jesus Christ in the only wise God our Saviour – Isaiah 43:11) Revelation 1:8 (Jesus is The Almighty God).

Oneness Apostolic believers are in total agreement with the Jews and Muslims concerning the absolute oneness of God, even though, we disagree on his nature (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11). Oneness Christians can prove the oneness of God because it is clearly laid out in the Old and New Testaments. However, the mystery in the New Testament and the gospel of Jesus Christ is not given to the wise and prudent for it is hidden to them that are lost. The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers (Isaiah 5:21, 29:14, Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21, I Corinthians 1:19, II Corinthians 4:3-4). Let’s get an understanding of how the mystery of God is revealed through salvation and the born again scripture Acts 2:38. Oneness/Apostolic Christianity can be understood, it’s a sound doctrine, and it is verifiably in both the Old and New Testaments.
