Michael, do you really think that after everything Bickle and his group have already been through since the 1970s that they'll move into Oneness?

Well why not pray and believe for the will of YHWH to be done with them? I pray that way for various groups. After all I was very surprised to see them baptizing into the name of Jesus. When did they get into that? They evidently grew into it.

I don't know anything about them other than what the Christian media and some "discernment ministries" have said about the K.C. Prophets and the Vineyard movement - and that stuff of course needs to read with "discernment" as well!

The "In Jesus' Name" prayer and invoking Jesus' name for power in prayer and authority over darkness is something that came along with the "restoration" movements that preceded the Pentecostal Revival. People throughout history have seen the association between baptism and Jesus' name in the book of Acts.

I wouldn't be surprised if you could find folks at IHOP who are essentially Oneness in theology.

My only criticism is that they do have a history of acting like "us" when it comes to discipleship and such. If they've left that behind then I hope the blossom and prosper.
