If someone teaches the Trinity is not true, it’s *non-Christian teaching*.

That’s one of the first things that was sorted out in the very early centuries, because of some who did try to teach it wasn’t true back then.

That means if a person is in a group that teaches that the Trinity is not true, that person is in a *cult*...

That’s one of the primary definitions of a cult.
