Are All Oneness Christians Apostolic By Default?

In a sense, all Apostolics are charismatic, but not all charismatic are Apostolic. These blokes are Oneness charismatics and I stand by my assertion that there is more hope for a Trinitarian Pentecostal who lives a life of holiness than there is for the man who holds the truth in unholiness.

These other folks are probably attempting to prepare to sit at the tabe for bread and wine, but they won't be wearing the right clothes.

A woman's hair being cut will disqualify them before someone who has not followed the plan of salvation and believes in a whole different set of Gods? You can't believe that, for real.

The person who claims soul-saving salvation AND shows with their life a desire for personal holiness and separation from this world is in a spiritually "safer" place than the person who understands all the ends and outs of doctrine and even every other mystery but live a life void of holiness and separation from this world.

What good is saying you have the truth, saying you have the Holy Ghost, and it doesn't move you to a life of holiness? Like I said, at least the holy-living Trinitarian Pentecostal who calls on the Name of Jesus has had some kind of experience that has clearly motivated them to live a life of holiness pleasing to the Lord.

That is why there is hope for the dogs who lick the crumbs. They know of their condition and their need. The folks who have the truth and their "new revelations" are PROBABLY going to attempt to sit at the table only to be turned away because they are not wearing the right clothes.

PROBABLY does not equal DEFINITELY. Only God knows and if it was up to me, we would all spend eternity with our God and Savior Jesus Christ. I am not made happy by the thought that there will probably be charismatic so-called Apostolics in hell, right next to the Trinitarians who are also wrong in doctrine.

Yet I still assert the following about the meth addict and the holy living Trinitarian Pentecostal:

They both have more hope of salvation than the so-called Apostolic who has cast away their convictions for holiness.

The meth addict, upon salvation will have a heart pliable for holiness and the holy living Trinitarian Pentecostal lives a life that suggests that God really is at work in their lives.
