Re: How did you become "Oneness"?
I appreciate all the responses.
BTW, I did not start this thread to create opportunity for debate or any such thing, I just wanted to hear about how folks here became Oneness. Even if you don't have a testimony of getting a revelation, even if you were just raised in it so accepted it as the de facto way things were, that's still interesting to me. I cannot debate someone's actual history, anyway! lol
I'm just fascinated in seeing how people came to believe what they believe. So, again, thanks to all who responded.

It would have been nice if people could have responded without being criticized and grilled for their posts.

"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."

I simply tried to get some clarification from you as you responded but did not seem to understand what I was asking. Hence, your remark concerning trinitarians being monotheists was completely outside the ball park of what I was asking. Also, simply saying you were born into a Oneness family did not clarify for me why you yourself were Oneness or even If you were.
What I find fascinating is people on this forum seem to be wired to debate and argue about the minor stuff like how they perceive other people's "tone of voice" (???) or what they SUSPECT is other people's motives for posting instead of actually just talking like normal people about the subject that was brought up. It's like we want to talk about how we talk more than what is actually being talked about?
But anyway, thanks for clarifying things.

Brother, I don't believe you started this thread to cause debate. What I meant was, it can lead to debate by others. That is why I normally don't post. I have seen it many times. There are some on here who "thrive" on debate and saracassum (sp) but they have the TRUTH. I apologize if I didn't make myself clear and again, I didn't mean you. I meant what a few others bring into it.

I didn't mean to imply that I thought you were saying I started the thread for debate. Sorry if it came out that way.
Although, I admit I love a good genuine debate (endless striving over stuff that goes nowhere however is rather pointless, in my opinion). And I do like me some good razor-sharp witty sarcasm. Gets the blood flowing. I've been through so many internet flame wars I've got asbestos skin and I don't take none of it personally (how could I? It's the internet! lol) but I also know some folks don't go for that kind of excitement.
But I love testifying about Jesus most of all, so if anyone wants to pick my testimony apart they can be my guest, I know which Rock I stand on and I ain't even skeered! (Besides, I'm in week 6 of my new lifting program, weight has stayed steady while arm size has increased about an inch and belly size has decreased, had a new PR on deadlift last week and I'm going to PR on squat and bench tonight Lord willing so all I can say is moar! faster! heheh!)
