Ha, ha, ha.  Here we go again.  Can you back that up with scripture, or is
this another empty accusation?   If so, please keep it to yourself.   

> They deny the trinity 

There is not such thing as any so-called trinity.  Paul wrote "though there
be that are **called** gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods
**many**, and lords many,)  But to us there is but one God, the Father, of
whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are
all things, and we by him.  Trinity is the doctrinal aberration, the
blasphemy of the singularity of God, NOT being found to be scriptural, not
the other way around, my friend.  Show me trinity by scripture, please.  Not
by church doctrine or opinion, though.

You have no idea what we teach, if you would write that.

Show me your faith without your works, and I'll show you my faith by my
works.  James 2:18b.  

Even so faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone.  James 2:17.  

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead
also.  James 2:26.

Do you believe the Bible, Bruce?  Then do the works!!   Lets leave
denomination alone, people, and talk about God and the Bible and this "great"
salvation.  Where is the fruit in such discussions?
