My apology for the ambiguity. By "believers" I mean all those who believe as Thomas witnessed of Jesus: "My Lord and my God" (John 20:28). I do not think it necessary for someone to understand the nuances and implications of the early Christian creeds to be believers in the Lord. And frankly I don't understand them all myself (as AnthonyB made pretty clear on the previous thread). As for United Pentecostals, what I've heard of their views is disconcerting--but I'm not prepared to say they aren't part of the Body of Christ.
But I fully agree a believer is obligated to obey Christ's commands.
Perhaps we can discuss what is meant by God's Church without turning the thread into another debate over the Trinity.
Perhaps, or perhaps not…
