Non-trinitarian churches?

[KristyAnne]

The UCG (I think) don't believe in the trinity, I'm curious if there are any other churches out there who also take an official non-trinitarian stance?

God Bless.

Well there's the Jehovah Witness's, Christian Science, the "Jesus Only" pentecostals, the Later Day Saints have a different view then most Christians and oddly enough (in a way) Islam. (who's roots some people think came out of Christianity) I think Wiki. has an article about non-trinitarian Churches.

Ooops! I forgot: most gnostic groups have a different view also!
tulc(still a trinitarian, still not afraid!)

There is alsohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christadelphians Christadelphianism, which is also non-Trinitarian.

I was in an Apostolic church for a while. they believe that Jesus is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost all rolled into one. I had difficulty comprehending the concept especially in passages where Jesus to the Father, as in Geshemene, and when at Jesus' baptism, the Holy Spirit came upon Him while a voice came out of Heaven declaring "This is My Beloved Son...", etc. I finally left this church, not necessrily because of doctrinal disputes, but because they were very shepherdish, expecting me to come to every church service, lest I feel like I'd commited a major sin if I missed one.

What freed me from trying to make heads or tails out of the Trinity was John 14:10,11:

"Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake."

So, Jesus is given us a choice in to either believing He is in the Father and the father in Him, or just believe Him for the works He did.

So instead of trying to figure out the Godhead, I just believe Jesus for what He did and let the theologians figure out the relationships in the god head.

The most well known is the United Pentecostal Church, Inc. (UPCI), aka Oneness churches.

The Worldwide Church of God (please don't get this one mixed up with the Church of God) was Binatarian, I believe, and since they broke up, many offshoots are out there preaching the same thing.

Some Apostolic churches are Oneness.

And as mentioned before, the JW, LDS and Islam (who, like Judaism, is a monotheistic religion)

The Unitarian Universalist Association is an obvious one, though they no longer claim to be a Christian denomination and draw on a bunch of different faith traditions.
