What does that even mean?

Witness of the fruit of the Trinity?

I don't understand what you're even asking.
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.

what he means is whether or not the trinity is from satan or from God. God tells us we shall know the origins of things from the fruit they bear, that is to say the effects they cause. if something gives bad effects (fruit) it isnt from God. what bbyrd is saying is does having a belief in the trinity give bad effects or good ones?
some things are better left unsaid, which i generally realize after i have said them

If that's what he's saying, then he's even more ridiculous than I thought.

That can't possibly be what he's asking.

If he were asking that, he'd be asking what the fruit of God is. That just doesn't make sense.

Maybe bbyrd can explain what he means, in simple, plain English. Instead of the confusing way he's been writing.

I think what it really means, is that Sir Bbyrd can't put up an argument against that theology and Scripture in what has been presented, so a diversion with a nonsensical question that is a categorical error is the best diversion can offer.

Sir Bbyrd, wadr please tell us the colour of your non-Trinitarian theology? Is it wet or dry? What texture is it?
