My mom then was re-baptized in NB a few months later.
Upon revealing this to the general board of the AOG.
He was summoned to Head Quarters for reprimand.
After the meeting many of them told him they were baptized in Jesus name to be safe.
He went back to Bristol, Conn where a few years earlier he had converted 2 UPCI Churches from the Oneness to Trinity.
He then converted them both back and his church to Oneness.
The rest is history until he passed in 1978.
Both my Uncles Rev John Laun an older evengelist in the UPCI and my mom's brother were both former AOG ministers.
They have were bapitzed in JN.
My Mom's brother lives in Springfield, MO headquarters city of the AOG.
She recently went to visit the retirement home of retired AOG ministers.
She went to visit some old schoolmates, some retired ministers some ministers wives.
She sat next to one man, who was a student who graudated a few years before her.
He asked her what she did during all those years ago.
He was one of her teachers in the 1950's.
He remember my Dad as being a genius on the Scriptures.
After talking about the UPCI, he commented Evelyn....You would be amazed who at college and over the years still reside in the AOG, but believe in the Oneness and have been Baptized in Jesus Name.
Thought this might be interesting.

Have you read the AG's articles of faith. When Charisma ran that article that caused such a furor a couple of years back it was the AG huncho that said they would NOT fellowship Oneness folks unitl they denied this heresy. He had more guts than the two Oneness guys interveiwed.
