The Myth Of Orthodoxy?

[Amanah]

I would like to interject my opinions, suspicions into this thread, knowing that I'm sticking my neck out as most of you are theologians and can debate me under the table. But here is my take on things.

I believe in Oneness and baptism in Jesus name as deeper truths, and I think most of us on this forum at least started from this viewpoint.

I think that many have become discouraged because ministry is tied to
- paying tithes, offerings, missions, ect
- holiness standards
- submissions, the church can have a very controlling feel to it

I think that many decide to leave Oneness churches because the requirements are less onerous elsewhere.

Once they leave and either go house church, or AOG, or whatever, then they have to rethink their doctrinal stance to accommodate their choices.
