The simple truth, like it or not, accept it or not, is that the Church of Jesus Christ is, and has been for 2000 years, much much larger than the latter day (circa 1913) oneness pentecostal sect.

Seekerman,
Of course you realize that not all oneness pentecostals are three step. Although swallowed up long ago by domineering 3 steppers, the United Pentecostal Church merger was between a one step (nearly bapti-costal) view of salvation, and the three steppers. Both believed in Jesus' name baptism.
