12 and 22 are mutually exclusive.

The Trinity doctrine oneness of the three persons of God with a common will (as opposed to a shared will) with no disagreement (hence total agreement). This describes a triune God. (not monotheistic or polytheistic God)

We often lean to monotheism but monotheism is the belief in one (singular) God. If you believe in the trinity then that God you believe in is not a singularity.

[...] But there’s a distinct lack of agreement on what is essential and what is not. (A previous post at Parchment and Pen, several months ago, explored what doctrines should be considered essential [...]

Ok to clarify the Pentecostal thing

There is Trinity Pentecostal
There is Oneness Pentecostal
There is Charismatic
There are “Bapti-costs” (ones who hold to Baptist traditional ideas, but practice the gifts…this is what they are calling themselves in North Carolina.)
There are Independent Pentecostals (baptize either way…depending on who is baptizing that day).

I am describing my view as Pentecostal…my particular branch accepts the Trinitarian view as opposed to the branch that accept the Oneness view.

I am a Pentecostal who believes in the Trinity.

So you are describing your denomination or the trinity? I don’t see how a oneness Pentacostal belief adheres to the trinity so I’m not clear on the need to make it denomination specific. The trinity describes who God is.

We are Pentecostal and believe in the Trinity…we are not Apostolic Oneness like some other Pentecostals are. I think you would call us Charismatic but I don’t identify with Charismatic.

Some Churches that are Trinity Pentecostal are
Assembly of God
Church of God, Cleveland Assembly
Church of God of Prophecy
Church of God in Christ (COGIC)
International Pentecostal Holiness
Church of God of the Mountain Assembly
Rhema (loosely though)
Word of Faith (again, loosely)
Non-Denominational
Various independent churches
Church of the Living God

We do have colleges and seminaries and have governments set in the churches as any other denomination does.

Trinity Pentecostal.

The thing about Eternal Security, if you claim it, you better live it.
Q#4…No man knows the day nor the hour so because we were not told when, the important thing is to keep watching and doing what we are supposed to do.
