My personal feeling is that God allows a wide latitude of beliefs in His children concerning how they understand Him. Whether we visualize a distinct and separate Father, Son, and "Uncle Ghost" or lean in the direction of nothing but "Jesus only," has little bearing on His love towards us.

It is those who embrace false gods and reject the sacrifice of His own Beloved Son on the cross, who are the unbelieving ones who must pay the price for their own sins.

zeek has a point. Any attempt to doctrinally systematize who God is will always be labeled as errant.
