What does the trinity doctrine have to do with being a disciple of Jesus or faithful to Him or obedience to what He commanded? If God is One, why do some try to take a spiritual scalpel and dissect God somehow?...

2) Are they capable of communicating with each other?

This sounds like a non question to me. What's the point?

3) Can they be in differing spatial locations? (ie differing places, the Father was not crucified with the Son)

Jesus went to heaven to prepare a place for those who are His and to be our High Priest, the Spirit is our Comforter and surity of God's ownership and presence. Jesus also said whereever two or more are gathered in His name that He is there with them. Seems that would be in Spirit.

4) Will Jesus maintain his resurrected body in heaven?

The revelation of Jesus Christ shows Him quite different than on the cross; more like what He was at the transfiguration event/vision.


5) Is holding to the historic creeds…

Can any historic creed compare to the pure teachings of Jesus? None that I've seen:-)

a. essential for salvation
b. good for spiritual health but not an absolute requirement
c. not important
d. other…Please specify

"D" Jesus said we will be judged by His words, the very doctrine of God He taught, as well as the truth of God taught in the Holy Scriptures. Jesus said these things were both imperrishable, so they need not restoration, but to know what has been revealed and forgotten - but certainly not 'lost' to need to be 'restored'.

Sound, balanced teaching is a must. Our default should be to partake. Our default should be to live in joy, not condemnation. Our default should be to love, not to correct, to encourage, not to criticize. (Quote from prisonchaplain)
