I would like to start out by saying God bless you also. I didn't take the remarks as derogatory at all. Now on to answer some of your concerns.
First does the new testament ever say that Jesus is God in that order the answer is no and I think you already knew that. Which is the very reason why pentecostals preach it. What I am trying to say is you won't say Jesus is God I presume, because it is not in the bible in that order. But you give me permission to call you a trinitarian and that word is not in the Bible either. You ask does Jesus know when he is coming again I will presume you are talking about the rapture and that word is not in the Bible either.I think when you preach the Godhead you are preaching a revelation. A revelation is something you recieve from God. If it is spelled out word for word then we wouldn't need it to be revealed.
So to Peter's revelation:Matthew 16:16. When Jesus asked Whom do you say that I am, Peter's answer was not thou art the Son of God but he replied first thou art the Christ. The revelation was thou art the Christ. The Son of the living God was clarifing the position in which Jesus was in.
To hold sonship is to hold a position. But that position is not who you are. I am a son of my earthly father but that sonship just shows what relationship I am to my parents.
Our Faith is based on who Jesus was not what position he held. They crucified Jesus because he claimed to be diety which they called blasphemy. Well actually they crucified Jesus because of the alliance between the high priest and rome and it all came down to money but that is a different topic.
But when the angel came he proclaimed he would be Emmanuel which being "interpreted" or revealed is God with us. Genesis 1 claims God created the heaven and the earth. John 1 speaking of Jesus says all things were made by him. John also says the Word was made flesh not the Word was made another person. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh.
Does Jesus know when he is coming to receive his saints. I believe he does. You say what about Matthew 13:32 which states But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Well if Jesus states I and my Father are one then I would say he does know. So why doesn't the Son know well I ask you this question does your body know what you are going to do tomorrow. The Son is access to the Father that access was a torn veil that torn veil is to say his flesh. The Son is the door the door is the bruised body. If A=B and B=C Then A=C.Then Son is the body of God. Again God Bless You and Look Forward to talking again.
