It's absolutely heart breaking to read your experiences, but again I cannot emphasize enough that a handful of United Pentecostal Churches does not make all the others the same. My pastor runs a church not like the ones you and someone else in the thread describes. I thank God I am in a place...

OldShepard, How can you say that the doctrine of trinity is monotheistic? One means one and nothing but one. The concept of "three in one" is linked to a philosophy not of the Jewish/Christian faith. The following is an excerpt from "Archetypes of Wisdom: An Introduction to Philosophy"...

Good evening. I am terribly sorry about your experience with the United Pentecostal Church. Please understand the church you attended does not represent the organization as a whole. It seems as though whomever presented the doctrines concerning outward holiness standards did so in a manner...

Philip, I do not drink poison on purpose but if I did by mistake then it will NOT harm me because the Word of God says so. I have faith.

When you've seen Jesus you have seen the Father. You canonot see God our Father because He is spirit, but as the Son you can see Him.

I communicated with someone this morning regarding the Nicene Creed. Am I the only one who thinks it's ludicrous for some people to use an unscriptural creed as to say who is a Christian or who isn't? I sure hope you all out there aren't like that. I'd sure hope the members of these forums...

Also, thought I made perfectly valid points in my top post in the thread, no one has yet to comment on any given reasons to my objection of Romans 10:9-10 as the plan of salvation. Hmm...

ReUsAbLePhEoNiX, Praise the Lord. Scripture will speak for me here. John 12:48 - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 2 Thessalonians 1:8 - In flaming fire taking vengeance on...

Jesus being the only true God is NOT a false doctrine. 1 John 5:20 says so period. Believing any other seperate person can be the only true God is not truly monotheistic. It's all in Jesus (Col 2:9). You learn from tradition that the Oneness church is false because we do not confess belief in...

Hiya, Mike. 'Tis a shame to talk of God by spliting Him up as if you were talking about three persons. Does it not bother you that is not a 100% monotheistic view? The Jews cannot accept such a doctrine like trinity because it does not hold to the view of one God in singular existance. In...

Hi, Hesmyall. My heart was burdened when I read your reply. Only Jesus is quite confusing to you? Let me ask you a question. How many gods are there? One of course. God is one person by Himself. Isaiah 44:24 - Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb...

Hello, usadingo. I understand where you are coming from. Many people like yourself refer to the days of the apostles of being "long ago". Primitive Christianity is still relative to today's believer, no matter what extrabiblical creeds, doctrines, or denominations say. If you noticed, the...

Hello, Philip. May Jesus bless you and yours. Jesus says in Mark 16:17 that "they shall speak with new tongues." He did not say maybe, perhaps, or a few shall speak with new tongues. They SHALL. Everytime someone received the Holy Ghost in scripture, right then did the initial evidence of...

Hello, Crusader. How are you doing? Fine I hope. :-) I had not even read your first comment as of yet until I read your latest post in your thread. I have not gotten to BT's or others' as of yet either. Sorry. For you to feel that the Oneness church is "legalistic and dogmatic" and that...

Praise the Lord, everyone. May the Spirit of truth avail. As a United Pentecostal, I am DIGUSTED by what I have read in this thread in what you think we preach. Let me go through the list to clear some things up. Part one covers comments from "HopeThey Dance." 1. HopeTheyDance, we do...

A Brethren IN Christ, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” is not a formula Jesus gave for us to baptize people in or to reveal an innovative new doctrine about the Godhead, but rather is a teaching that the one name He wanted us to be baptized in reveals the...

I John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (I John 5:7) Although this verse of Scripture is often used by those who believe in three persons of God, it actually refutes this view, for it says that "these...

1Cor13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 1Cor13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 1Cor13:10 But WHEN WHICH IS PERFECT IS COME, then that...

2 Timothy 4:2 - Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 - For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 - And...
