I recently received this email from a pastor in Malaysia:

I m Pastor Ng from the Christian Disciples Church, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We are a small independent evengelical church which had recently ( a year ago) changed our stand from trinitarianism to biblical monotheism just as you have stated in your statement of faith.

I started questioning trinity despite having taught it for close to 15 years, when my teacher and the founder of our church Pastor Eric Chang received this new revelation about the truth on the only true God and taught it to us about a year ago. Right now I have no doubts that there is only one God Yahweh and one Lord Jesus Christ.

I would like to refer you to the book “The Only True God” which he wrote and is just made readable online at www.totg.org.

Do give me some feedback after reading if you have time.

It is good to alliance with those who are of one mind and one spirit to pursue and spread the truth. It is so difficult to find those who are open and willing to look at this truth again.

…
Thank you and God bless.

Pastor Kwan Loong Ng

The book Pastor Ng referred to is available to read excerpts of online. Click here to access it. Here is the description from their other website (www.biblicalmonotheism.com):

Do you believe in God? – the one and only true God?

Listen as author Eric H.H. Chang profoundly explains and discusses monotheistic Christianity through this thought-provoking book. Delve deep into the Scripture and get to know The Only True God.

This study of Biblical monotheism shows historical facts and compelling literature that’s backed-up with Bible passages and Jesus’ words. Chang vividly explicates that the faith of the Bible is unyieldingly monotheistic. From the Old Testament, he traces how clear God’s message is to humankind. He calls for all to have faith in Yahweh, the one and only God of Israel. Monotheism was manifested in the Law and the Prophets, and has flourished in the life of God’s people. Even Jesus expressed his monotheism when he prayed, “This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” And people believed in Him. They honored The Only True God.

But by the second century, the commitment to monotheism was disappearing in the Church – except in name. The Gentile’s polytheistic ways of worship and thinking developed and eventually culminated in the Trinitarian formulation of Nicea. There was a gradual and subtle shift from monotheism to trinitarianism centuries after Jesus’ death. Those Christians who believed in one God in three persons believe that they are monotheists. But are trinitarians considered monotheists when they believe in three different Beings, which they call God?

Let this in-depth study of Biblical monotheism and of trinitarianism’s claims to monotheism stir your faith – and show you that there is truly just one true God.

Here is the author’s picture and bio:

Eric H.H. Chang was born in Shanghai in a non-Christian home. In 1953, he came to know the Lord through a series of miracles, as recounted in How I Have Come to Know God. In 1956, the Lord opened a way for him to leave China. He completed his studies at the Bible Training Institute ( Glasgow, Scotland), before moving on to London Bible College. He graduated from the University of London (King’s College and School of Oriental and African Studies) where he read Arts and Divinity. The Lord then led him to minister to a church in Liverpool. While in Liverpool, he was ordained by his dear aged friend, the Reverend Andrew McBeath. Several years later, he was invited to minister in Montreal, Canada. The Lord blessed this ministry too, which has expanded from a small church into a fellowship of some two dozen churches. By the grace and power of God, the ministry continues to grow under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
