A little Greek would do you well in understanding what Jesus was really preluding to during His recorded conversation with Nicodemus. Oneness Pentecostals didn't redefine anything that hadn't already been well defined from the apostles on throughout history. If you want to blame the doctrine on someone you'll have to go back much further than the 1900's.
If anyone put words in Jesus' mouth it was the interpreters. The Greek is rather plain and simple. Man's pride and lack of precision is not.
