Oneness Pentecostals Are Right on Baptism

Now if modern day Oneness Pentecostals (not saying you) are ashamed of that title so be it. Personally I am honored to say I believe in Jesus Only.

Here's an example.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

What name fits this scripture? I would say Yeshua or Jesus.

So I understand that those outside of the true faith will not like "Jesus Only" but will they accept when I say "Jesus is the Father"? No I have proved that hundreds if not thousands of times.

So my point is that no matter what we call ourselves our how we begin our presentation of Oneness we will have to say more then our opening statement. We will have to begin to present the multitude of scripture that backs up what we said.

Then we will have to explain Biblical Christology.

Ironically the new buzzword for the hyper grace Evangelical doctrine of salvation is "Christ Alone".

Brother Michael, if someone calls me Jesus only, I correct them and tell them I believe that God was INSIDE of Jesus. They just need us to clarify our position is all. They are taught "Jesus only" as a slang word from their peers.
