I realize there are a lot of smart people in theology and that God has gifted them.

However, the complicated, conviluted explanations that say, in effect, we are saved, but not really, when Christ saves us, cause me great concern.
When you are evaluating how complicated an argument is for one position vs. its contrary, make sure that the simple side is not ignoring data that it has to account for.

For example, tri-theism and modalism are much simplier than Trinitarian Theism.
