Total rubbish.
In fact, there is no evidence -- zero, zip, nada -- that any earliest Christian was a full-blown Trinitarian.
So, do you claim that Jesus rejected every Christian for the first three centuries?!
On even the simpler matter of Christ's deity, there is no evidence -- zero, zip, nada -- that any earliest Christian outside those "accursed" Gnostics believed Jesus was God Himself.
For comparison, I again refer you to the 2nd century Apostles' creed, which contains no hint of Trinitarianism.
The full blown Trinity doctrine did not develop until the time of Athanasius, well into the 4th century AD.
Indeed, serious evidence for that particular Creed does not appear until the 5th & 6th centuries.
So your claim that Jesus rejects all those who don't confess the Athanasian Creed flies in the face of all logic, FRiend.
I am here to ask your forbearance and respect for the Apostles' Creed.
Total rubbish.

***Baloney. And what you’re saying is pure heresy as well. There’s no reason to treat a false teacher like you with anything but contempt, even Jesus said you’re a son of satan. That’s pretty deep condemnation from the God of the universe, clad in flesh.
The Bible itself distinguishes between Jesus Christ and God the Father. Jesus Christ himself distinguishes between the two. Jesus’ Apostles also distinguish between Jesus the Christ and God.
Is there a note of irony when Bible-believing Christians reject the Bible’s doctrinal contraindication?
Matthew 5:11-12
He used to post to me when I was active on doing the moral absolutes and homosexual agenda ping lists, I’ve been sort of missing for a while.
I realized that the only way I could deal with him was ignore him, because was slippery as an eel, devious as a viper, and never ever ever would respond with even an atom of honesty.
It looks like I’m not the only one on this forum whom Tacticalogic has stalked. Meanwhile, the mods do nothing about such a devious, long-term, anticonservative troll. It is a mystery.
bump for later
