By keeping this view you are accepting heresies ... none of us want to be associated with

Dan, I don't think you are really reading what BD is saying about history. Some of history has been edited to resemble the views of those in power. Aren't you a history major, don't you know these things to be true? Are there no historical revisionist in the past like there are today?

As for heresies, there are heresies in the Oneness camp in this day. It's easy to pick on a Oneness believer that may not believe what the norm accepts in the past and exploit their heretical views. We have such of our own in Oneness that believe in the annihilation of the sinner. That is not a majority view. Or those who say 'holiness standards' are believed by some to be salvational but others don't agree. Someone is being heretical in this regard to someone else. BD is just trying to prove there were Oneness folks all through history.

Demons and Muslims believe in One God ... but we don't want to be spoken in the same sentence as them.

Dan, we're talking about the God of the Bible, why do you keep bringing up this red herring?

Either realize that your definition of the Church is flawed or that your entire view of theology underwent an apostasy and re-appeared in the early 20th century. The latter would be similar to the argument of the Mormons.

I'm not a church historian and I have no way of proving what groups baptized in Jesus name or those who confessed 'glossalia'. But I will repeat, The Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations. I believe wholeheartedly in the new birth being baptism in Jesus name and baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues as well as the Oneness of God. Therefore if what I believe is the truth of God's word, then he has preserved his truth down through the generations. Whether you can or cannot find historical proof will not sway me. Only proof that I'm wrong from the word of God will convince me otherwise.
