if your oneness but not UPC what are you?

All the Jews were Oneness. Still are. The Christian concept came much later than Abraham,.
Holiness is a different group. Methodists used to be mostly labeled Holiness.
Now not so much.

I am looking through the site mizpeh posted now.

Are you seeing any that look interesting?

If you're "Oneness" but not UPC you're Apostolic!

I went through the same "revelation" several years ago. When we lived in Alaska, we met some folks while eating dinner that "looked UPC". Imagine our surprise when we found out that they had no idea what the UPC was! Never even heard of it. And yes, they believed and lived Acts 2:38 etc.

If you're traditional UPC, or think in those terms (not saying you are or do) these "revelations" can really shake things up!

The UPC does not have a monopoly on God or His Word!

Do they believe in the apostles doctrine firmly, just without the "Holiness Standards"

Thanks

If you are Oneness but not a member of an organization called UPC, then you are a Christian with a particular theology called Oneness. There are many Oneness orgs

The UPC is just an org and as an org does not claim a monopoly on God or His word. Generally speaking, as the word Apostolic is used by Oneness. Being a person that goes to a UPC church does not make you not Apostolic

Catholics also call themselves Apostolic.

They aren't the only ones. There are a group of protestants that call themselves Apostolic because they believe in apostles and apostolic gifts

I have always considered myself Apostolic. When our church went from ALJC to UPCi I was confused but told it was no different. I don't remember all the strictness before. But I was a new convert at the time so perhaps I wouldn't have. It was done to help our church, as we are a smaller congregation and some of the things from ALJC went away. The idea I think was to have more things to do. Camp, Conferences and such.

I love my pastor dearly and have very much respect for him. Just researching. He has always said if I preach to you anything that is not in the Word of God bring it to me. I also want to know what other Oneness believers believe. I am praying for the Lord to continues to lead me in the Holy Ghost.

Thanks for the info all!

Are there any Orgs that teach Oneness and Acts 2:38 that do NOT teach womens hair cutting is a sin?
