Summary
This message begins a series challenging the doctrine of the Trinity and contrasting it with what Vaughn presents as apostolic teaching. Using passages such as Jeremiah 9:24, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:15, and 1 Corinthians 14:33, he argues that God can be understood and that doctrines should be tested by Scripture. The sermon traces the historical development of Trinitarian theology to post-apostolic church history and calls believers to return to what is described as the original apostolic faith. He also argues that the Holy Spirit is not a third person and was added to the Godhead at the Council of Constantinople in 381, that 1 John 5:7–8 was added to the Bible, and that the Father and Son are one by covenant relationship, a position he describes as neither Trinity nor Oneness.
