I pray the same way you do. But I know some people that are in the oneness church that when they pray they do not say JESUS they pray and say "dear Heavenly Father....etc.

Well the truth is the reason most of the Trinnies say Jesus is the second in the Godhead is because as far as the struture or arrival in the Bible Jesus was the second manifestation of God. The do not see the name of God as being Jesus. They see the name of God being "God." Well the truth is that we both worship the same Jesus though we worship Him as God they worship Him as an attribute of God.
The word Trinity is a bad example to describe the Godhead, but that is how most people believe it. I hate to say it but it if you know that the name of God is Jesus then the intended meaing of the Trinity structure is simple to see. God is one, Jesus is one with the Father, and the HG is the Spirit of God.
It is like saying you have a pecan pie and you cut it into quarters and give them away. Each slice is still pecan pie. even though it was separated from the one unit. Because if took random pieces of pecan and tried to piece them together they would not fit right. Only until you take the exact pieces and fit them together do see the whole pie. Make since?
