baptize the new repenting souls in Jesus Christ's name, but never
those who were already baptized. In spite of my personal feeling on
the subject, I was almost begged to baptize some who once were already
baptized.... I tried to discourage it, and told the folks it was not
necessary at all and that it would bring trouble and division among
them. I went as far as to tell them of the havoc that very thing had
created in America and then I plainly stated that I would not
rebaptize them.... I prayed hard against rebaptism and branded it to
be a trick of the devil to destroy that good revival."

Out of curiosity, where did you come up with that quote by Bro. Andrew Urshan? I have read that and have quoted it somewhere on these forums.
Bro. Urshan did agree to be rebaptized while he was on that trip but maintained fellowship with the Assembly of God, actually being ordained by them a couple of years later. He wanted to maintain fellowship with both the trinitarians and oneness folks and did so until he was forced to choose one or the other.
