Are you trinitarian or non-trinitarian?

This issue has always put me out of step with mainstream Christianity. I believe in one, unitarian God (God the Father as trinitarians would say). I believe Jesus is the Messiah but I don't believe he is God, and I don't believe that the Holy Spirit is a separate being from God the Father, I believe it to be just one of his means of action (moyens d'action). I was actually shocked when I learnt 2 years ago or so that the Trinity meant that Jesus and the Holy Spirit were considered God (and frankly I found the idea kind of polytheistic, even though I know it's not supposed to be).

There are some other points taught by the Church I don't believe in either, for exemple Heaven and Hell. I believe that the Dead rest in Sheol until the Day of the Last Judgement and there everyone will be brought back to life to be judged by God.

I'm agnostic on the issue. Keep in mind that classical Christian Unitarians don't deny the existence of Christ and the Holy Spirit, but don't necessarily see all three as being equally eternal aspects of one God.  I don't see any significant theological implications in whether God was always three-in-one.

The problem is if the Trinity isn't correct, then worshipping Jesus and the Holy Spirit would basically be idolatry.

GOMEZ DAVILA: "Rejecting the divinity of Jesus makes Christianity the sum of all mistakes"

What does that mean?
