Must one Hold to the trinity to be saved?

next you're going to tell me God made people for hell and some for heaven when John 3:16 tells [whosoever] believes will be saved!

That idea is called "Double Predestination".

Some object to the doctrine because the Bible teaches us that God is love, and they believe that it is not loving to predestine people to go to hell.

The Bible says that "God wants all men to be saved".

The Bible also says in Romans 8:29 that.........
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestine to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

The doctrine of Predestination teaches that all events have been willed by God and that He willed eternal damnation for some people and salvation for others.

Having foreknowledge of what decisions people would make is far different from predetermining it.

According to the Bible, God foresaw, and thus foreknew, each generation that would live upon the earth, He coupled immediately with His foreknowledge the decision to predestine them all to be saved.

Divine foreknowledge and divine predestination in no way take away human freedom of choice. No Bible author teaches that the Lord does predestine some people to be saved and some others to be lost, despite their own freedom of choice in the serious matter. The Scriptures clearly teach that God does not predestine people but rather invites them all to be saved by their own freedom of choice.
 
God doesn't but the Doctrine refuses that we can also walk away on our own
Really.........
1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may abound? 2 May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Thank you for the question!!!!!!!

NO! We are not to seek and desire the sin that condemmns us. We through the power of the Holy SPirit after being saved should have the ability to walk away from the temptation that would cause us to sin.

"Shall we continue in sin"............CONTINUE means that we know we are doing something we should not be doing!
The verb tense in the Greek of the phrase continue in sin (the present active tense) makes it clear that Paul describes the practice of habitual sin.

In this first part of chapter 6, Paul writes about someone who remains in a lifestyle of sin, thinking that it is acceptable so that grace may abound.

A life of sin is unacceptable because our death to sin changes our relationship to sin.​

 
and that is why we have what is called the Gospel of Christ! it's the only Doctrine valid for Salvation!

I am sorry.....but again that seems to me to be a redundant comment. We all accept that without question who are born again.
The "Gospel" is the foundation of the Christian faith.
