Good day.

Again, I'm not going to debate with you in this opening thread, but you can see the Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological & Ecclesiastical Literature for that. Frankly, I would rather begin with a discussion of baptismal regeneration as stated in the debate section.

Much thanks to Esaias for that information. I am a former Trinitarian charismatic (read charis-maniac) so I know how thin and useless that term can be. Despite being altogether backslid at the time, for my oratory they wanted to vaunt me to the zenith of their system, but I declined. How can one occupy the bishopric if they are not qualified? They even compared me to Leonard Ravenhill. The various Oneness orders are not well known there and infrequently discussed since trinitarianism is taken for granted. In all my years therein, I do not recall a full sermon dedicated to McAlister's Oneness doctrines, not to mention the various denominations. They still loathe me to this hour for asking questions, including about we Poor Men of Lyons and our beliefs. The fundamentalists likewise did not enjoy questions despite having read broadly their writings such as Dr Ian Paisley, GC Morgan, RA Torrey, Dr DA Waite, Dr DW Cloud (some of his books just came in the mail), WB Riley, Bishop Ryle, Lester Roloff, RG Lee et al ad infinitum.

Next time proof read what you post. It sounds like that as you were reading the "sacred writ" which would by definition is the scriptures of the Bible, you could find noting "but" Romanism. Which honestly looks like you are saying you read the Bible and could only find the Roman Catholic Church. Not my fault, hence the reason I asked the question, "You are a Catholic?" Did you happen to notice the question mark? No, because by your current post, you seem as if you were waiting for an offense. But, read carefully, if I joined a Baptist or Catholic forum, and didn't have them posting smack to me, I would think something amiss. Because they are different ends of the poles. You walk in here, and gives us your postings how you are doing research on the bugs called Oneness? You make no bones about it that we are some sort of ecclesiastical freaks show which you are currently bisecting as your hobby? You can't attend a UPC church because of some sort of transportation issue, but you have some sort of secret job. You can't make it to the bus, because you are slow moving and can't get across the highway. So, does that mean you work at home? Do you grow your own food in the bathtub?

Seriously? Sir, the Catholicism you speak of is long dead. She is a Vatican II and she swings with everyone. How old are you?

Wow, you know so little about so much. The Roman Catholic Church of Vatican II accepts everything. Even baptists, like Billy Graham who loved Pope John Paul II.

Since 1958 the Rome you claim you know no longer exists.

Good day.
Who are you kidding, the Trinity are three SEPARATE PERSONS or gods. Like the way you Trinitarians constantly claim your forefathers yet trash what your forefathers used to describe their three headed god. Persons, Vishnu a person, as the sustainer, Brahma, a person, as the creator, Shiv, a person as the destroyer. Vishnu takes avatars like Sri Ram, and Krishna. Shiv as Hanuman. Brahma angers Krishna because he didn't know that Vishnu had taken the form of the young boy as his avatar. Therefore Brahma asks Vishnu in Krishna for forgiveness. The same in essence? Trinitarian you don't believe in One God, you believe in three.

Re: A Waldensian chimes in

Oneness does not deny hypostasis. It denies 3 distinct hypostasis'

lol

Hey, just out of curiosity, how do they claim valid sacraments? I know the RCC teaches a sacrament can be valid even though it may be irregular, but if one believes the Papal chair is in fact vacant, then wouldn't that mean all ordinations since the vacancy are not only irregular but wholly invalid?

Also, which camp are they in? that is, who they believe was the last valid pope? I have heard there are several competing groups arguing about when the vacancy occurred, and they tend to view the other camps as excommunicate or schismatic?

(Isn't religion fun? Almost as fun as the Theravadists and the Mahayanists going at each other lol)

Re: A Waldensian chimes in

I suppose this has been the most lively and frankly interesting if not somewhat polemic greeting on any message board I have got. Nevertheless, I do not see any reason to engage in any debates off of Strict & Particular Baptist Radio, my YouTube channel; I don't debate in text because it is often edited unfairly by the opponent and highly tedious in addition to annoying since my archive is on another device. If there are those of you who wish to discuss or debate, you may message me or email. I already posted a thread for a baptismal regeneration debate with thus far no takers, lamentably. Perhaps the Campellites would take that debate; Rome's wicked priests do not debate. This is a foundational teaching (Hebrews 6).

Nevertheless, the administration's graciousness is appreciated.

Have a read of the Trent Council and you will see why. There is an election of grace; all who belong to the Lord per the Daniel chapter seven transaction described in the gospels between the Ancient of Days and the Faithful and True later described in the tenth chapter also in Apocalypse chapters one and 19 will come to him. They who the Father gave the Son will never be cast out (John 6) because of Unconditional Election. Consequently, while no modalist could join the Old School Baptists via sinking save he renounce it, we do believe all are under sin, and some are merely awaiting vivification from that death. Glory be to God nine years ago he awoke me, translating me by his dear Son from darkness to light (Colossians 1-2). Dr Tobias Crisp wrote a most delicious work from that passage highly recommend.

You are not a trinitarian Pentecostal, Praxeus, so you fall into their list of schismatics rather than separated brethren. Since the church patriarchs so-called excommunicated Praxeus, Nœtus as well as Sabellius, they have a special anathema for you. The average papist knows so little of his own religion of antichrist he is wholly ignorant of this, but not all are. Rome corrupts the mind so well; it was, after all, Loyola who invented the schismatic Spiritual Exercises and consequently Project Monarch mind control...

Nonetheless, this has been a most invigorating welcome!
