There is arrogance in just about every faith. Every been to a KJV only Fundamentalist Baptist Church?

Yes, there is a lack of teaching in many Apostolic circles, I agree. The issues with the Apostolic church I've experienced and many others have do not however deter me from the doctrine preached. Some of the best real teaching I've ever heard were from pastors in and out of Pentecost I'd never sit under funny enough. I've sat in RCG churches (I was invited by a family member) and LOVED their line by line style of teaching, yet find their doctrine reprehensible. I love George Bloomer in North Carolina's teaching, even though he's extremely liberal and denies that Hell exists (sorta kinda). I absolutely love the word of God, so yes I am not going to sit here and lie and say that the Apostolic church has certain deficiencies. I still love this doctrine and the saints of God.

Why are Trinitarians doing the most good for example Teen Challenge, Los Angles Dream Center and Convoy of Hope to name just a few. Can they really hear from God without the "revelation"? Oneness claim have so much revelation about God????? I just don't see it!

I don't think trinitarians are doing the "most good". If you're going by just pure organizational structure, sure. Most trinitiarian organizations have been in existence for much longer then most OP and have more workers and more funds. However on the street and individual case by case basis I think it's unfair to say trinitarians do more to outreach or do "more good". At the end of the day the Catholic church has done "more good" then any of the protestant orgs... and also "more bad" if you REALLY want to tell the truth.
