Again, it was and remains my suggestion that it be told openly and clearly to those who deny the doctrine of the Trinity that to do so is potentially fatal, i.e., their denial of the Trinity puts them outside the historic Church and is a denial of biblical Christianity. And thus, to not embrace the doctrine of the Trinity with sincerity and wholly, it is impossible to be saved.

Although I do not believe I dumbed down what I told my friend (you did not see what I finally told him), I will take what you said under advicement.

it would seem that your friend is lacking in either comprehension or basic teaching concerning the doctrines of Christianity and/or someone has a serious problem communicating and has caused this man to be confused.

Yes I agree with you. What gave him that impression I can only guess, but I am old enough to know that nothing surprises me anymore.
