In the prior six "church ages", a true Christian was required to believe a doctrine of the devil (the Trinity) to be saved.  If they rejected the message that the messenger brought (which included the doctrine of the Trinity), they were lost.

:''That's the reason you Methodist got sanctified when the Lutherans didn't believe in it, you were on the Word.  That's how you Lutherans got saved, justified, because your messenger preached justification, and protested the Catholic church which was an off brand of all. They just believed in the church; you come back to the Bible, and you took that Bible truth and held to it.  And then along come Wesley with another truth, and held to it; along come the Pentecost with another truth, and held to it; then if you can hold to that and see it's right, why not take the whole thing that's been proved right?

=Some of the messengers were Trinitarian=
Martin Luther taught the doctrine of the Trinity:
:''...justification is “the article by which the church stands or falls” because on it the church’s proclamation of the gospel depends, although Luther also ascribed to the Trinity, the incarnation, and the resurrection, among others...<ref>Hans Hübner and Bruce D. Marshall, “Justification,” The Encyclopedia of Christianity (Grand Rapids, MI; Leiden, Netherlands: Wm. B. Eerdmans; Brill, 1999–2003), 95–96.</ref>
:''As regards Servetus (who believed the [[Oneness]] doctrine), Luther knew only his first work against the Trinity, and pronounced it, in his Table Talk (1532), an “awfully bad book.”<ref>Philip Schaff and David Schley Schaff, History of the Christian Church, vol. 8 (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1910), 706.</ref>
:''The major sixteenth-century Protestant Reformers continued firmly in the Patristic and Catholic tradition in their basic exposition of Trinity and divine personhood.  What was stated in the Smalcald Articles (1537) about the Trinity is typical of the lifelong attitude of Luther (who helped draw up these Articles). In Part I — The Trinity, it is stated: ‘That Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three distinct persons in one divine essence, are one God, who created heaven and earth.’<ref>Douglas F. Kelly, Systematic Theology: Grounded in Holy Scripture and Understood in the Light of the Church, vol. 1 (Ross-shire, Scotland: Mentor, 2008), 507.</ref>
John Wesley also considered the doctrine of the Trinity to be fundamental to true Christianity:
:'''''In his sermon ‘On the Trinity’, Wesley is clear where he stands. The Trinity, he says, ‘enters into the very heart of Christianity: It lies at the heart of all vital religion’'''.<ref>Kenneth Wilson, Methodist Theology, Doing Theology (New York; London: T&T Clark, 2011), 64–65.</ref>
:''It must be emphasized that Wesley grounds his soteriology in the '''Trinitarian being of God''', in the God-man Jesus Christ and the universal sufficiency and scope of his objective work of redemption, and in the all-enabling power of the Holy Spirit, who comes as prevenient, convicting, converting, and transforming grace.<ref>Geoffrey Wainwright, “Methodism,” The Encyclopedia of Christianity (Grand Rapids, MI; Leiden, Netherlands: Wm. B. Eerdmans; Brill, 1999–2003), 508.</ref>

:''Now, my precious brother, I know this is a tape also. Now, don't get excited. Let me say this with godly love.

:''The '''polytheistic religion of the enemy began with the trinitarian doctrine'''. It was way back there in antiquity that the "one God in three persons" idea came into existence. How strange that our modern theologians have not spotted this; but evidently just as '''duped by Satan''' as their forebears were, they still believe in three persons in the Godhead. Let us be shown just one place in Scripture where there is any authority for that doctrine. Is it not strange that while the descendants of Ham went on their way in Satanic worship which involved a basic concept of three gods that there is not one trace of the descendants of Shem believing such a thing or having any ceremonial worship that involved even a type of it? It is not strange that the Hebrews believed, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord thy God is ONE God", if there were three persons in the Godhead? Abraham, the descendant of Shem, in Genesis 18 saw only ONE God with two angels.

:''Now '''that is what modern theologians try to tell us when they talk about a trinity'''. Just remember this one thing from now on: these records are facts and this is a fact--'''Satan is a liar and the father of lie'''s, and whenever he comes with any light it is still a lie. He is a murderer. And his '''doctrine of the trinity has destroyed the multitudes and will destroy until Jesus comes'''.<ref>William Branham, PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5</ref>

:''For example, right now unless the local ministerial association approves in many, if not most cities, one cannot rent a building for religious services. To become chaplains in the armed services, hospitals, etc., it is now almost mandatory to be recognized as acceptable to the '''trinitarian ecumenical groups'''. As this pressure increases, and it will, it will be harder to resist, for to resist is to lose privilege. And so many will be tempted to go along, for they will feel it is better to serve God publicly in the framework of this organization than not to serve God at all publicly. But they err. '''To believe the devil's lie is to serve Satan, even though you may want to call him Jehovah'''. But the elect will not be deceived.<ref>William Branham, An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages - Chapter Eight - The Philadelphian Church Age</ref>
