Doctrine Of The Trinity

Anytime you undermine a proper understanding of who Jesus is, the true Son of God who became man for us and our salvation, you undermine our salvation. It's always the atonement, it's always the cross, and the work on the cross for us and our salvation. So if Jesus is not God, then we cannot look to the cross and say there is God for me, defeating death, sin, and the devil and rising again for my justification. If He is not God, whatever He is doing, He can only do for Himself; He cannot do that for me. He cannot do that for the world. It is always the heart of the Gospel that gets compromised when we compromise things like the doctrine of the Trinity, the doctrine of Christ, and so forth.
