This whole pattern of change must also be upheld by a false view of Church History. In order to substantiate their claims in light of Matthew 16:18 (the "gates of hell prevailing" against the church), the revisionists have also adopted a fraudulant view of history that is maintained only with the grossest fabrications, otherwise they'd have to admit that for some reason no one was saved for about 1,700 years of the church's almost 2,000 year history.
Bible truth never needs to be upheld by outright lies and fabrications. The UPC needs to reprent of promoting these lies. The whole "Three Stepper" movement needs to repent for inventing and passing one these lies.
Then, maybe, we can see the Oneness Apostolic revival that we all desire. |
On the other hand the one step group who also does claim
Acts 2:38 would have to admit that for 1700 years no one did what the Apostles commanded to be done in the first sermon preached in the New Testament Church.
