POLL: Does the Comma Johanneum(1 John 5:7) belong in the New Testament?

Does the Comma Johanneum(1 John 5:7) belong in the New Testament?
This is an excellent and very controversial question. It is the only verse that gives an explicit statement concerning the Trinity. I am going to say that it is absolutely a true quotation of John and is authoritative. Here are my reasons:

1) Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage (200 A.D. - 258 A.D.), quotes this as being written by John (vol. V, 418,423 , Ante-Nicene Fathers).
2) Vigilius of Thapsus quotes it in the 5th century.
3) The Codex Montfortii contains it.

What say ye?

Because it makes sense

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

1 John 5:8 - And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
