To have that many Presbyterian trinitarians accept the oneness is miraculous. I've never seen that before. I know it happens, but I've never been involved in it before. And that is only the seed that was planted. Who knows what fruit will come of it. I know that the two UPCI people who were in attendance were floored!

I trust that things are moving forward for you folks!!!!!!

Tell 'em to bring some chairs next time you come!!! j/k :)

Yeah, well, you probably know about chair and the Oriental culture! If you're not used to it, especially while eating, your legs can't take it! I did everything they did out of respect but it wasn't always easy.

Can't say that I have acquired a taste for octopus!! But I did eat it along with a lot of other stuff like sea weed and moss and a bunch of other stuff that I have absolutely no idea what it was! :D

Seeds of truth are always powerful!!!

[ManOfWord]

Seeds of truth are always powerful!!!

Yes, and that is amazing that it happens even when we don't put "our" labels on those seeds.

In my teaching, I never used the word oneness and used the words trinity and trinitarian a number of times. I told them that their definition of the Trinity needed refining. They not only accepted that statement, they accepted the oneness doctrine of God from a Jewish perspective as that refinement with joy and tears. I told them that our challenge as Christians was to hold to the Father, Son, Holy Ghost of the NT and not violate the Shema (Deut. 6:4) of the OT. They got it.....big time!!!

So, do I care if someone calls themselves a trinitarian yet believes the oneness doctrine? Not for a minute!!!Truth is what is important, not the labels. :D

This sounds great MOW.

Have you told us how your contact with these folks came to be?

[ManOfWord]

This sounds great MOW.

Have you told us how your contact with these folks came to be?

When I visited my son in October, I preached for a UPCI pastor and also taught a short class at a Seminary lead by a former UPCI pastor. They liked what they heard and wanted me to come back. Definitely a God thing.

No, Mark, these were ALL Presbyterians who received the oneness while I was teaching!!! (except 2 UPCI guys who were amazed that they received it so readily)

[rgcraig]

MOW - - that is wonderful!

I'm sure your ability to articulate what you studied and their willingness to learn more was the reason!

God is so good!

[tamor]

Awesome reports and great pictures, MOW! Thanks for sharing with us.

I'm curious. Why did you pick him? I was thinking it was the tall guy in the middle back.

Did you pick him because of the shine on his forehead????
