Apostolic question

[Believer]

What type of Oneness is this forum centered around? Do all Apostolic agree with the UPCI views on holiness standards, .i.e. dress codes, the hair issue, make-up, jewelry?

What is the major differences between them? I know the theology of the Godhead is the same. The reason I ask the question is because everyone seems to have different views on most subjects.

Oneness is not related to standards of dress codes. Oneness is an understanding of the Godhead and a particular theology of Christology only.

Not everyone agrees on standards. Not everyone agrees on what standards. Not everyone agrees on their salvational merit. Not everyone agrees that a standard is necessary etc etc

IF you read the threads in Fellowship hall you will find UPC pastors and saints, independent Oneness, other Oneness groups (I don't know their names), there's a wide variety of Oneness folks represented here. And with that variety, there are a variety of opinions on all subjects, even salvation. There are some that believe Trinitarians will be saved and some that don't. Some that believe you are saved at repentance while others say you must be baptized in Jesus name and baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues. The differences go on and on.

There are disaffected exUPC Christians, almost all views of the end times are represented here, it's a long list. That is why many find this forum stimulating because of the diversity of opinion.

Actually there are many different Oneness views of both teh Godhead and also of salvation presented here.

There is great diversity among folks who call themselves Apostolic
or consider themselves Apostolic.
We do not all agree on how/when a person is justified/saved/born again.
We have differences of opinion on "oneness" or the deity of Jesus.
And as far as hair, make-up, and jewelry, each pastor teaches differently and each Christian believes differently.

If we say "We believe in one God who has revealed Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," then most oneness and trinitarians will agree.

If we say, "The one God of the Old Testament came to earth in the person of Jesus Christ," then most oneness and trinitarians will agree.

If we say, "The only way we will see God is in the person of Jesus Christ," then most oneness and trinitarians will agree.

When we try to get too detailed, both oneness and trinitarians disagree among themselves.

So it boils down to knowing God in the best possible way. If God revealed Himself in three "modes," or three "persons," then He reveal Himself as He is, which would be the way He has always been? According to Scripture the LORD said,

Mal 3:6 "For I, the LORD, do not change;....."
