Even went through over a years worth of personal Bible study with my pastor after my baptism (I was baptized the first day I attended a oneness church). I read the required books for licensing. I taught Into His Marvelous Light and Search for Truth (#2) several times in home bible studies.

Despite all if this I never heard expository preaching (didn't even know what it was until after I left the "apostolic" movement). Never heard Romans, Galatians, Ephesians (or any book, not even Jude) taught or explained. The totality of my exposure to solid Bible teaching and theology in over 2,000 services. It was either the basic "apostolic"distinctives (oneness, baptism, tongues, holiness standards) or a scripture taken out of context for an emotional reaction. After 10 years in the movement I realized that I couldn't even define grace. Yet this is typical of oneness pentecostals, even the "systematic theology" taught in UPC Bible colleges is bare bones and revolves around the distinctives of the movement. The theology is weak. The exegesis is weak. Why would anyone want to attend a Bible class at an Apostolic church by someone who doesn't even know basic hermeneutics?

All that I ever preach, personally, is expository preaching. Just saying. And I am as apostolic in Acts 2:38 and Oneness as apostolic can be. Not to blow my horn, but to make a point of oneness churches.
