Discredited? Such as...?

Some say some of the groups Bro.Arnold listed as oneness were not.
Check this out.

Didn't those who helped him do research later say that he was not honest in how he presented the material?

If he found a reference to someone who rejected "church/state" baptism, didn't he include them as actually "Oneness Pentecost"?

If he found a reference to a group who experienced the gifts of the Spirit, didn't he list them as being Oneness Pentecost?

I have not read the book and I am not an historian so I can't comment on the historical accuracy of what he presents. From what I understand, he was pretty sloppy with his facts. He grasped at groups and individuals who were not part of the "established" church and presented them as "Apostolic" or "oneness" when there was really no indication of what words they used when performing the water baptism ritual.

I personally cannot condemn nor commend the book. I have a copy of it in pdf format but have never read it.

New International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements is an excellent resource.

it might also do good to study the european move also. wasn't there also a move taking place in China around the same time as all these others?
