Oneness Pentecostals have since the beginning of the last century resorted to and used the works of non-Oneness Pentecostals across the board. We use their greek lexicons and dictionaries. We use their commentaries. We use their translations. We use their books on the cults like the JWs and Mormons. We use their historical books on the church and the jews. We use their books on eschatology. We use their books on theology. We use their books on prayer. We use their books why we should use the KJV. We use their books on hermoneutics and systematic theology....
BTW you never did point out what this error was and attempt to show how it was wrong

No... I expected that, since I was questioning the scriptural merits of certain statements he made, that he would provide other passages of scriptures in support thereof. Are we not admonished to establish ALL truths by the mouth of two or more witnesses? And are not those "witnesses" to be the words of other holy men of olden times who wrote as they were inspired of God?
Insofar as references to the writings of non-apostolic writers, I have no arguments against such, for even I consult them for references purposes ONLY, not to substantiate the scriptural merits of my fundamental beliefs.
Insofar as Morey's writings are concerned, I deemed it quite offensive that a fellow apostolic would even suggest that I consider anything this man might have to say, for in the video I viewed wherein he spoke of the UPCI, he called it a cult. If I am to heed and obey our Lord's commandment to "judge righteous judgment," then I can only deem Morey to be nothing more than a "false prophet," and I choose to avoid such, and would never willingly allow any of my fundamental beliefs of biblical doctrines to be based upon anything which he might assert as truth.
I was converted to the oneness apostolic pentecostal faith after more than 48 years of association with the likes of Morey, and this is yet another reason that I found it offensive for Bro Segraves to suggest that I consult with Morey's writings to ascertain biblical truth.
The thing I found to be scripturally unsound within Bro Segraves writings concerned matters of eschatology, and seeing that this is not the topic of this thread, I did not consider it appropriate to mention its specifics.
I hope that this will enable you to better comprehend the remarks of my previous post.
