Re: >What is the Most Divisive Moment in OP Histor
Well I am not sure that I can actually "vote" with the way the choices are...
The New Issue, it could be argued actually served to unify the Oneness Pentecostal fractions - if not immediately, then later out of necessity for close, like minded fellowship.
Also those who were rejected by the AOG at the time of the New Issue debate... many continued to preach and actively fellowship those who remained in the old organization. The same can hardly be said of the recent factions - at least in many cases the departed are placed "under question" and forbidden from the pulpits they once had a welcome in.
While men like Goss, Ewart and Whitherspoon would not attach hellfire to those who disagreed with them on the "New Issue", many will do so today on matters of television and hair length.
