I see why the Assemblies of God deemed the Oneness camp a cult based on much of the interaction and responses of this thread. Personally, it is amusing to think I in Oneness theology am somehow a pagan, but two people keep arguing over which is right on an issue not related to this thread in a diatribe of sorts! It makes me wonder if some have ever had the thought why some flee from Oneness Pentecostals because of the bickering and papal-like pronouncements over salvation while all repeating the same tired, hackneyed arguments among their disagreement! How strange to find near-universal condemnation of trinitarians as lost (who needs to cite the UPCI manual at this point since it seems the public opinion court has already ruled) while disagreeing with each other on that point AND an unrelated issue! Mind you, I have seen droves of Pentecostal hissy fits, but if this is how Oneness works, I apparently lost out on some of the biggest ones.
Horace the Latin poet might say, "Aut insanit homo est, aut versus facit!" "Either the man is mad, or is composing verses!" The trinitarian Pentecostals did not have this issue, fascinatingly, yet according to Oneness, they though generally dipped and tongues-talkers extraordinaire, are also lost. And, when a trinitarian comes along with questions, he is greeted with bickering and insinuations he is unenlightened while the Oneness proponents cannot agree among themselves on one of their key doctrines. Did I miss something in 21 years in mainline Pentecostalism, or did I miss a group who literally damns the mainline crowd while disagreeing among itself?
I can at least appreciate the Assemblies had an entire General Council session to find what Scripture declares (
I John 5.6-9;
II Timothy 2.15, 3.14-6;
II Corinthians 13.14) rather than this. They rejected me outright yet at least some heard my objections to their doctrine.
