As evangelicals concerned with the centrality of the gospel, we must speak carefully and biblically about who God is and how he has revealed himself to us. Like taking an ax to a trunk of a tree, if we speak loosely about God and his nature, the gospel will come tumbling down with it.
As creatures, we depend on God to reveal knowledge of himself to us. Who are we to give him his name? He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He has told us so.

But the problem is that you’re not Trinitarian just by calling yourself Trinitarian. The Bible doesn’t allow for us to worship the Trinity as God A, God A, and Holy God A and still call ourselves Christian.
Just like you are not faithful or orthodox or catholic because you say you are.... Your words (confession) and your actions (practice) will render the judgment. And for now, well, the answer is clear.

These questions were among the first ones settled by the church when it emerged from persecution in the ecumenical councils.
All of this confusion and ongoing debate is because these councils have been rejected and the creed they expressed.
Insert Nicean Creed Here.....
