I definitely hear it, though since I left the oneness movement proper, I've heard it less, and the people I hear it from are generally within that movement, or charismatic. But I tend to normally blow off the charismatics because they are so far off doctrinally, I don't even know how they can straight faced claim to be Christian. However, when they made a statement like Creflo Dollar "we ought to take all the non tithers out back and shoot them with uzis" type statement, that should be addressed. Even if later on he claims it wasn't serious (well duh, shurly they're not shooting people out back on a regular basis) it should have never been said, and had no value, except to expose the level of covetousness and greed in these mens hearts.
