I wasn't clear with my statement. I should have said that within oneness pentecostalism, the behavior usually occurs in those who call themselves 'apostolic'. Within oneness pentecostalism, the more conservative they are, the more cult-like they become and the more likely the practice of allowing children to suffer, and sometimes die, will occur. Within oneness pentecostalism, those people will almost always self-label themselves as 'apostolic' and and be subject to a domineering pastorate who must be followed, even to the point of the abuse of children. This isn't painting all oneness pentecostals as such for most aren't, but it is recognizing the fact that the more 'apostolic' a group is, the more conservative they are in their dress and beliefs and behavior. In other words, the more cult-like they become.
