DA No Longer an OP

Direct quote:
"Since the initial evidence doctrine is used to define the nuanced difference between Pentecostals and Charismatics ... with the understanding they're under a similar umbrella ... I do not see myself as Pentecostal."

another quote:

"The Incarnation is a wonderful mystery ... I am as Oneness as I am Triunitarian ... and Trinitarian. These models seek to define an infinite and multi-dimensional God ..."

the slippery slope...

Re: DA No Longer an OP

Aside from DA's status, I know many charismatics that believe initial evidence of the Holy Ghost is speaking in tongues.

Almost all Pentecostals and Charismatics would say it is the initial evidence.

Exactly. It's not a ONENESS issue.

Then I would say they are Pentecostal, not Charismatic

Re: DA No Longer an OP

But the modern versions of Oneness are wittling away great truth so that soon one wont be able to tell much difference between Oneness and Trinity imo.

That is so far from the truth brother you don't even realize it. Oneness has at it's core the view that God is One Person not Three. The so called "modern version" has in no way changed that nor the idea that Jesus is God. It simply seeks to clarify that Oneness sees a distinction between Father and Son. It's NOT a step in the direction of the Trinity

As Sabin would say it is not a matter of two but two what. To say there is a distinction is only begging the question of why type of distinction. In the end IMO most trinitarian theology no matter the screaming and yelling of no, creates multiple Gods. It is nothing but a hybrid form of Tritheism that says because of sharing one "........." it makes it not. Basically IMO that is nothing but a model to make it acceptable/palatable as some level monotheism.
