Unorthodox TheologyA forum to discuss/debate theological doctrines not accepted by mainstream evangelical Christianity (eg. Full Preterism, Unitarianism)
Technically, this is a whole class of heresies. There are a variety of different ways of describing Jesus as God while denying that one God exists as three persons. All of them are heretical by the standards of Nicene Christianity--someone who believed any of them would be barred from the "Christians Only" section of CF and the World Council of Churches.
the belief that rejects the trinity, but still recognizes the deity of Jesus Christ.
Can this be considered heretical?
Um, yes.

Actually, there are several Christian demoninations who do not believe in the Trinity. An example is several branches of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (there are others who are strictly nontrinitarian) They believe in all three parts of the Trinity, but not that they are one. Some denominations consider it heretical, but I believe that all Christians shoould be open minded to other denominations.

The LDS church is not Christian - contrary to their assertions. The problems go far beyond their treatment of the Trinity.
There is no such thing as a Christian church or a denomination which denies the dogma of the Holy Trinity.
Belief in the Deity of Christ isn't enough to be considered a Christian on CF or in terms of orthodoxy. There's a great deal more that one must adhere to.

I agree with what has been said here by my Trinitarian brethren...
There is no such thing as a "Christian Denomination" which denies the Nicene definition of the Trinity.
This doesn't mean there aren't Christians around who do not know this definition (shame on their churches for poor catechesis!), but a church which would deny it has placed itself outside the Church Catholic.
