There was a particular occasion in 1999 when he and Trinitarian preacher Clarence McClendon made some fairly controversial things on the Oneneness/Trinitarian issue:
At the end of the day, there was a whole bunch of Oneness
and Trinitarian folks, who didn't appreciate what was said. (...me being one of them)
I made a comment about it previously
here.
I'll just copy it again below, for simplicity's sake:
Even back in March 1999, it was evident on this Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) broadcast, in which Bishop Noel Jones (Oneness Pentecostal) and Bishop Clarence McClendon (Trinitarian Pentecostal) discussed how to not let the doctrinal differences be a dividing wall between the two groups:
Noel Jones speaking:
and then I’m going to become so Oneness in my presentation that I eliminate the revelatory distinction between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Okay) And if I’m fighting Oneness, I’ve become so extreme in my attitude that I make three Gods, you see so, so, we go from one extreme to the other extreme, instead of coming together on the premise that I need your theology and you need my theology (C. M. "absolutely") to round [sic] the body of Christ (C. M. "absolutely"). So, let’s sit down together and let’s restate the Godhead in terms that are cohesive, comprehensible, so that all of us can grasp it. Then, after we baptize and after people receive the Holy Spirit, then let’s get up and do what Romans tells us to do to: transform people by the renewing of their minds (claps from audience).
