Another Faith??
 
I often hear people say someone is of "another faith" meaning they are a part of another Christian denomination. I have on occaision used the term myself.

Is this not in effect saying they are teaching another gospel??

Is there not just one faith??

I wonder how this term came about??

I have determined to not use the term unless I mean it.

I have a saying there is ONLY ONE faith and over 900 UNBELIEFS.
For example the Baptist unbelief, Methodist unbelief, Assembly of GodS unbelief.

So you don't use the term "another faith" when making reference to other denominations?

Uh huh. We know, only you and those who believe exactly like you are true believers. Uh huh. Everyone who doesn't believe exactly like you do "doesn't love truth". Uh huh. Everyone who sincerely searches will be sent a Oneness Pentecostal preacher to lead them to the truth. Uh huh. We understand. And nobody can be saved except through a Oneness Pentecostal preacher, we get it. Thanks.

Ooooh, some people may wish you hadn't asked! :lol

Seriously, though, I'm not sure what my faith is right now. I am working it out. Researching things, trying to learn about different beliefs, one of which being Oneness Pentecostal. (To render my opinion here on OP would be in violation of the rules! :sshhh)

Actually I am asking you opinion regarding the original post... It is really not about Oneness Pentecostals in particular.

I would never use the term another faith unless it was about people who don't believe that Jesus is the way to salvation.

Yes, but I've also heard Methodists using it about Baptists, etc., like it was a denomination. It's not just Pentecostals who say it, although they are mainly the ones who think everyone else is hellbound.
