Each period of history through a chosen Individual Whom Bahais call "the Manifestation of God." He restates in every age God's purpose and will. His teachings are a revelation from God. Abraham, Moses -Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ, and Muhammad were Manifestations of God. (Tract on Basic facts of the Baha’i faith Bahai publishing trust wilmette Illinois)

The Way int. (Victor Paul Wierville)

"... The gospel of John established the truth of Gods word that Jesus Christ was was the son of God, not "God the Son" or God himself"Jesus Christ is not God (New Knoxville press 1975 p.79)

"Trinitarian dogma placing Jesus Christ on Gods level degrades God and leaves man unredeemed.(Ad for Jesus Christ is not God)

The Holy Spirit,…"appears feminine, masculine and impersonal… like God himself. .is invisible and incorporeal- a bright light or a field of magnetic energy. (Unification Theology p.201-202)

Cady p.6,8)

Unitarian

Oneness Pentecostals (Jesus only)

"Trinitarianism is of the devil" William Branham.

"...not one place in the Bible is trinity ever mentioned...It's Catholic error and you Protestants bow to it" (Conduct, Order, Doctrine Q and A, p. 182). "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is offices of one God. He was the Father; He was the Son; He is the Holy Ghost. It's three offices or three dispensations,"  Conduct, Order, Doctrine p. 392). "But Father, Son, and Holy Ghost has one name, the Lord Jesus Christ," (ibid, p.392).

"If we understand the doctrine of Christ we will realize Jesus is both the Father and the Son." (The Oneness of God D. Bernard p. 191)

"…Trinitarianism is a doctrine that does not belong to Christianity." (The Oneness of God D. Bernard p.294)

"We do not believe in a three-person Trinity, we believe that Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh. We do not believe that the terms `Trinity' - `God the Son', `God the Father', `God the Holy Ghost', `eternal Son', the `first, second, and third persons in the Trinity' are either scriptural or correct. We believe the doctrine of the Trinity was a product of pagan mythology and Grecian philosophy." ( 1985 the John Ankerberg Show, Rev. Nathaniel Urshan U.P.C)

OUR RESPONSE:

It is a reality too often repeated, that when the nature of God is distorted, all the rest of Christian doctrines come under it's rippling effect. The Puritan, Steven Charnock rightly said "The eternity of Christ is the ground of the Christian religion" (Works, Vol.1, p.361)

Waterland states "If God be Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the duties owing to God will be the duties owing to that triune distinction, which must be paid accordingly; and whoever leaves any of them out of his idea of God, comes so far short of honoring God perfectly, and of serving him in proportion to the manifestations he has made of himself". ( Cited in Lewis Sperry Chafer Systematic theology vol.1 p.278)

"If Jesus is not God, then there is no Christianity, and we who worship Him are nothing more than idolaters. Conversely, if He is God, those who say he was merely a good man, or even the best of men, are blasphemers. More serious still, if He is not God, then He is a blasphemer in the fullest sense of the word. If He is not God, He is not even good.

It has rightly been maintained that there is no stopping between Unitarianism and rationalism after Christ. The deity of Christ is the key doctrine of Scripture. Reject it, and the Bible becomes a confused jumble of words devoid of any unifying theme. Accept it, and the Bible becomes an intelligible and ordered revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. Christ is the center of Christianity, and the conception we form of Christianity is therefore the conception we have of Him. He must be acknowledged in his rightful place.

Our belief in the deity of Christ is, in the final analysis, based on our faith in the Scriptures. We believe Him to be the Son of God because we accept the teaching of Holy Scripture and its statements about Him. When we assert belief in the deity of Christ we mean that the person known to history as Jesus of Nazareth existed in eternity before he became man, as the infinite and eternal God, the second Person of the Trinity .

The very basis of Christianity is that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh (I Timothy 3:16). If that assertion can be overthrown, then the whole superstructure of Christianity crashes to the ground, and we are bound to assume that Jesus was either a shameless impostor or that He suffered from a delusion".(The Incomparable Christ J. Oswald Sanders p.53)

All the cults have a common denominator, all think they are the one true church or religion. They deny the deity of Christ, and the nature of God as tri-une. By doing this they have lost the Biblical Christ, and the heart of the message of Christian teaching. God came as man so we could personally understand and know Him. In doing this they cannot teach about having a relationship, but only point to there being a God whom one cannot know personally, especially by their teaching.
