    What would you think of a non-Baptist pastor who uses the pulpit to make fun of Baptists?

    The pastor has a dry sense of humor and tries to be funny while keeping a straight face. Much of the congregation laughs, but not all. There's no way to know to what extent he's joking, or to have any idea why he's picking on Baptists rather than other denominations cause he never elaborates...

    John 10:30 I and the Father are one: does NOT prove Oneness Pentecostalism!

    ‘I and my Father are one.’ (John 10:30, KJV). ‘ego kai ho patar ev esmen: (John 10:30: The Nestles Greek text). ‘I ((Subject)) and ((conjunction)) my Father ((object)) are ((verb 1st-person-plural)) one ((adjective)).’ (John 10:30, KJV). Oneness people would need to explain the use...

    The Oneness Pentecostals and the Baptismal Formula
