Are All Oneness Christians Apostolic By Default?

The holy-living Trinitarian Pentecostal is showing with their lives that God is at work and thus, they might very well be in a spiritual "safer" place than the so-called unholy living Apostolic who has the Truth but lives a life void of holiness.

The unholy Apostolic is living in a place of open rebellion and according to the Bible, he is operating in witchcraft. He cannot be convinced of his rebellion and need for Jesus because he is already saved, in his mind. Sadly, he has no clothes on and the clothes he would have access to are more than likely not appropriate for the Table.

The Bible calls for a life of holiness.
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord...

The Bible gives hope for the meth addict because once she realizes the Call of Christ, her heart will be tender and pliable so that she can receive salvation and biblical teaching concerning holiness.
Luke 19:10
The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.

The reason why there is hope for the holy-living Trinitarian Pentecostal because their lives reflect the holiness that God is calling for. This is probably a sign of God working in their lives, despite their lack of understanding. The verse below establishes holiness as God's Way and that even those who do not understand will be able to walk that holy highway. However, the unclean cannot.
Isaiah 35:8
And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.

First of all, to speak of an unholy Apostolic is a misnomer, but for the sake of this conversation, the only way an unholy Apostolic can exist would be for that unholy man to be living in a place of rebellion-- which is witchcraft.
I Samuel 15:23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Just as God rejected Saul, it is not far-fetched to look at unholy Apostolics as rejected by God.


So these so-called unholy Apostolics have the Truth you say. Yes, they have been invited to the Great Banquet. They will come in and attempt to have a seat only to have the king throw them out of the venue because they are not properly dressed for the event. Yes, this is what you would call a double entendre-- because I am speaking about physical clothing (for the earthly, unholy Apostolics' unholiness does not and will not stop with cut hair) and spiritual clothing as well because the rebellious are not clothed in righteousness.
Matthew 22:11 - 14
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless. 13 Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
