 treating them all as people and respecting all equally goes a long way.
Still, I came from a church where we spoke German, sang monotone A cappella, sat in child/adult and male/female divisions. What some may think is appealing and an attraction may be appalling and distraction for others...

If this is true, it would be true because of negative experiences the Trinitarian had with the Onesie(s) they met.

Of course, because we all know that trinies are not that hostile.......ever.
On a side note, I went to our UPC senior church camp last night. I saw UPC teens worshipping with WPF teens.
We could learn alot from our youth.

Some trinies can be...very. There's one site online that I was enjoying the articles on...until I got to the whole "Oneness is a cult" thought they were pushing HARD. It was painful to read. However, if they run into a dogmatic Oneness person, I can understand why.
Extremes on BOTH sides and I've experienced my share of both.

LOL!
I just wanted to get a response out of somebody.
I will state that my experience with other non-Oneness Pentecostals leads me to believe that most of them consider Oneness folks their brothers and sisters in the Lord.
However, there are Baptists who view anything Pentecostal with disdain-- especially Oneness Pentecostals from my personal experience.
Many of them view Oneness Pentecostals as not only unsaved, but under the influence and deception of satan.

And that goes both ways. In my experience though, other denominations have been more than willing to visit Oneness churches and DID in fact view us all as one body in Christ. The feelings were not mutual though.

... which is part of the reason as to why I am no longer Oneness Pentecostal.
