It may help to see how the unitarian central view functions as the root of various other unorthodox doctrines. In doing so it may help to share the points with respect to various distinct versions of unitarianism so that a unitarian universalist view is distinguished from other unitarian sects.
Of an unspecified unitarianism, one aspect seen here is the tying of a legalism or works-orientation as part of becoming justified. The other is the idea of some sort of spiritism that is not really God's Spirit as distinct, but rather a vague change for a Christian.
I saw on one group is their presentation of questions that began "if the Father and the Son are one being..." This of course is not related to a Trinitarian conception, at least not with any sufficient precision of language. I do not know if they are simply using "loaded language" intended to confuse or manipulate the issues they raise.
The other thing i saw with that second group is the tie with the Hebrew naming emphasis. That naming emphasis would seem to intertwine with an incantation process or thinking that God cannot understand language variations across the many nations. And their view was also tied with an apocalyptic expectation, perhaps as if their special insights were needed for them to benefit through those apocalyptic scenarios.
Anyhow, there are some impressions that come to mind.
