That sounds like a great start. This org. might fulfill the original intent of the UPC at the time of the merger. A Oneness org. that allows for diversity in opinion as to salvation.
I had thought at one time that Global (GNCM) might fill that role but they have pursued a more open path by not making a Oneness theological position a requirement for membership.
It is not that I think trinitarians are going to hell or polytheistic it is just that I do like the idea of a group that has people of a like mind when it comes to the Oneness doctrine who are not legalists.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
