One doesn't have to believe in the trinity to be saved?
If the trinity was essential for salvation, Jesus would certainly have taught his disciples about it. He would have used illustrations*, explained it and explained why believing in it was essential. He would have, at the very least uttered the word "trinity" (or a synonym) .
Regarding illustrations : They had eggs in his day so if trinitarians can think of explaining the trinity is like an eggs made up of three elements : Shell, yoke and white, then why couldnt Jesus?
They had families in those days , so Jesus could have likening his relationship to his God a that of a TWIN
His disciples were familiar with trinitarian godships, all Jesus had to say is : " We are like Osiris, Isis, and Horus only better"!
Jesus haven't uttered Trinity and also is the word Bible.
But the concept of Trinity is strong in Mat 28:19. Singular "name" used for Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Another illustration of Trinity;
One human
Our mind and heart - as the Father, whom sent Jesus to the world. John 3:16
Our word - as Jesus, Word become flesh, all things were created through Him.(logos) Col 1:16
Our actions - as the HS, who is here with us in action. Ezek 36:27
