In most of the forums I have participated in trinitarians seldom
if ever question the theology of anyone who will use the trinitarian
buzz words in referring to the Godhead. If they refer to the Godhead
as three persons they will not be called to account even when they
state in describe the Godhead in out and out tritheistic terms. I have
even had some who called themselves trinitarians tell me that the
Godhead was a committee of three divine persons and that it is the
committee that is the Godhead. This explanation was not questioned by
any of the trinitarians on the forum.
