First of all although there are other Oneness organizations the UPCI is the biggest so naturally the biggest one is the favorite target.
Every church has its own issues and problems, so there is not perfect alternative to the UPCI
Of course everyone roots for their team. but many would disagree with your statement "this is the closest we've ever known" for you probably only know the UPCI, if you visited other churches then you would get a different view. You would see that others believe their church is the closest they've ever known.
The comments against the UPC is mostly of their own fault, they have elevated some of their own cultural teachings on the par to the Scriptures, just like the Pharisees did at the time of Jesus and that is the main problem.
The majority of the people in this forum are not against the
Acts 2:38 message or the oneness message, but they are against the extra man-made rules that the UPCI has added to the gospel, those are the points of contention.
