Non Trinitarian Pentecostals?

What makes you think trinitarians are "Pentecostal"?

I know because I was baptized with the Holy Ghost and was part of a trinitarian Pentecostal church before God revealed his Oneness and the Baptism in Jesus' Name.

So you believe that "Pentecost" consists only of receiving the Holy Spirit...and forget
about baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus.

No... I know that what the modern day "Pentecostal denomination" adherents basic belief (or most common held belief) is baptism of the of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. The fact that they identify themselves with the move of God in the day of pentecost doesn't mean they understand or have the full revelation of what occurred on that day.

The ALJC and the GNCM are basically onesness organizations. The GNCM are less into adding "standards" on top of Biblical doctrine. They are also less likely to make a big deal out of the Biblical truth of God in Christ, but just preach it along with the rest of the Bible as it is, truth. They do baptize in Jesus name and believe in the infilling of the Holy Ghost. Depending on the church, they have different ideas about when salvation occurs (repentance, some believe in the three works of salvation, etc.).

Also, a lot of nondenominational churches just preach the Bible without additions. This means you won't hear them call it the oneness, but they are likely to baptize in Jesus name and believe in the baptism of the Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. I attend one of these now. They are very serious about getting people baptized and filled with the Spirit. in 9 months of attending I have never heard them add anything to the scripture. They baptize in Jesus name as well. Before I left the UPC this church was referred to as heretical and as trinitarian in various times I heard of it. Don't believe what you hear, check it out for yourself. I even had an old UPC friend write me last week and accuse me of becoming a trinitarian for going to that church! LOL! Of course I invited him to church where he could hear for himself!

There are quite a few sabbatarian Pentecostals who believe in Binitarianism. I think there's a group that's primarily found in Jamaica called Church of God 7th Day that speak in tongues and hold Apostolic standards.

I have found this to be the difference between pentecostal vs apostolic. Thank you for pointing this out. Thus the reason why I attend sometimes a pentecostal church now.
