Such a silly stance you are taking since the Oneness revelation is not a heaven or hell issue. People use the oneness revelation as an excuse to act spiritually superior to others. Since we don't operate in the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost on a regular basis so we have to substitue that with superiority of revelation. What scripture do you use to support the claim that SAINTS have the right to scrutinize the preacher? (Your words not mine.)

Besides.. if a man baptizes in Jesus' name, and is still slacking, compromising, and/or watering down other doctrinal areas, it is more than appropriate for him to face scrutiny and criticism from other saints.
It might not be pleasant, but it's biblical.
