What's the Truth about Non-Trinitarians like Phillips, Craig and Dean, T.D. Jakes and Gwen Shamblin?
By Cky J. Carrigan, Ph.D. (Sep. 2002)
The orthodox-biblical doctrine of the Tri-unity of God (Trinity) is an essential doctrine of orthodox-biblical Christianity which is NOT a negotiable doctrine among Churches in the stream of genuine Christianity. There are those, however, who have crept into the realm of genuine Christianity unnoticed (Jude 4) and perverted this fundamental doctrine which impacts the doctrines on the nature of God, the nature of Christ, and the nature of the Holy Spirit. Recording artists Phillips, Craig and Dean; pastor and TV preacher T.D. Jakes and weightloss instructor Gwen Shamblin are among the growing number of pseudo-Christian celebrities who presently influence the ranks of genuine Christianity. While these non-trinitarians may be sincere in their beliefs, well intended, and even orthodox on some doctrines, non-trinitarians are devoted to a false doctrine of the most extreme kind. For this reason, genuine Trinitarian Christians should avoid the ministries of non-trinitarians. There are many very good genuine Christian-Trinitarian sources of music, sermons and weightloss programs without drinking from the wells of non-trinitarians like Phillips Craig and Dean, T.D. Jakes and Gwen Shamblin.
