Picked up on this today in spite of the fact the thread is over a year old. It is certainly interesting. I can only weigh in with personal experience. When I first became a believer in my early twenties I was among a group of believers who you could only describe as real eclectic. It was comprised of a few who could barely read and the "Living Bible" was highly recommended by more than a couple. As a novice I had no idea about the differences in translation and like a lot of people with whom I associated I just assumed the Bible ended up in the form God intended it to be in. I think the version I had was the NIV but it might have been the NAS. Later it was explained to me that the Living Bible was not even a translation. Then I found out the Catholic Bible allegedly contained books that really were not books which could be included in the Bible. Over the years I gravitated to whichever translation was considered to be the "best" at the time. Up until a few short years ago I had settled on the good old KJV. There is much written on how it is the only reliable Bible in existence. When I discovered how many corrections had been made to it and read how most Bibles were translated back out of the Latin Vulgate I was more than a little bothered. From what I have read-there were real agendas in Bible translatings. Currently I use a Rotherham's Emphasized. I have no formal education beyond high school and do not in any way consider myself a scholar. I read voraciously but sometimes have difficulty separating the good from the bad and ugly. The books included in the Bible (I refer to the majority of the protestant versions) were decided upon by a group of men a long time ago. I cannot document but have read that Martin Luther really did not want the book of James to be included. I have also read that the book of Revelation narrowly made the cut. The points to my longwindedness:A-There are differences in Bible translations. These differences are sometimes used to promote specific doctrines. Or stifle other ones.
B-Paidion's post had mainly to do with the different views of the Godhead held by sincere believers. Each one holding the respective theological position would likely tell you he/she believed the Bible.
C-Background has much to do with what person believes. Remember-teachers teach out of Bibles. United Pentecostals will teach a Oneness position. Baptists usually a cessationist position. Presbyterians a Calvinist etc. and most of them believe the bible.
