I don't see the big deal. It's not a big deal. I know lots of Unitarians that are my friends. They call themselves Unitarians. They don't get all buggy over labels
Do you believe the Son is someone other than the Father?

The way I see it Prax, when Jesus was on earth, being he was a man, YES
But "after" the resurrection....NO
The unitarians say Jesus is not God, I say He is the only true God......I say Jesus IS the Father(after the resurrection)
I really wish you guys would keep going and "elaborate" on the God became a man subject above. I taught that for many years. I am not saying that it is entirely wrong, I just had problems with some of the "phrases" like(Jesus had a dual nature, God/man, flesh of God etc.) that I taught.(parroted).Who knows, I could have fell out of the bus also. I may need to get back on the bus. However I was just thinking about what I was saying those years. Really its only "minor tweaking" of standard oneness theology. In reality, I just took a HARD look at the HUMANITY of Jesus. He totally had his own thought process along with the Holy Ghost(Father) inside him influencing him to do and say certain things. I see him saying things like "why calleth (me) good, there is one good...God"....I guess I just want answers to "every" thing I see. In my mind, every verse must have a logical explanation.
One thing I know for sure.....our oneness leaders have embraced some serious HERESIES in other doctrines (tithing, etc). They definitely are not "infallible" as they would appear to be as our instructors. The early pioneers of Pentecost or modern theologians must not be viewed as infallible.(everything should be scrutinized) I just think we are "still" in the REFORMATION.
