Sure, here is what the London Baptist Confession says about it, with footnotes

So, now you are using some church as the source of your beliefs? I asked for your idea of Trinity, not some institution's. Isn't that what Protestants are all about -- rejecting any and all "church authority" and relying only on their individual interpretation of the Scripture?

BTW, the London Baptist Confession is pretty much what the Apostolic Churches teach, so I have personally no problem with it (as far as I read -- that is most of it).

I see Jesus Christ as being both 100% God and 100% man, as opposed to 50-50

We never believed He was 50:50 anything; He is fully divine and fully human, a 100:100 ratio.

Horrors!!! :)

No, that's not what Protestants are about at all. We also respect those who have gone before us, just as you do. We just put all of ours to the test of God's word first, without changing the meaning of the word to conform with the desired tradition. That appears to be a difference we have.

So you slam me for putting up something you have no problem with generally? SHEESH! :) I can't win.

I never meant to imply that I thought you believed in 50-50. I just said what I said to distinguish between what any other random person "out there" might think. It was not directed at you all. At least we agree anyway. :)
