What follows is a quote by Charles Morgridge from a discourse he gave in
1837. ...
"Promises of salvation are expressly made to all who embrace the
gospel as it is defined by Christ and the Apostles. But no
promise is made to the Trinitarian as such. There is
no scripture which asserts that whosoever believes in the
Trinity, or in the two natures, or in the Son's equality with the Father ...
shall be saved. Nor does any scripture assert that whosoever believeth
not these doctrines shall be damned. But if no promise is made
to him who embraces the gospel as it is defined by Trinitarians, and no
threatening against him who does not embrace it as thus defined, is not
this sufficient evidence that their definitions are not correct?
All who believe on Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, have assurance
from Christ himself, of everlasting life. All who do not believe Jesus to be the
Son of God, are assured, by the same authority, that they shall not see
life, but the wrath of God abideth on them.
What, then, does the true believer gain by admitting the doctrine
of the Trinity? If it does not secure to him a single promise, nor shield him
from a single threatening, or what use can it possibly be to him? It cannot make
one hair either white or black."
