Re: History of the Water and Spirit Doctrine
To my knowledge no groups that were large enough to be noticed by historians taught the true new birth message since the great falling away of the early Church.
Catholics teach being born of water and spirit. They say it means the same as we say it means except they practice baby baptism and Trinity baptism. They believe one is born of the Spirit at confirmation far as I know. Obviously no tongues or prophecy.
The Church of Christ teaches born of water and spirit. Born of water is baptism. But in their belief the Spirit birth also occurs WITH baptism. They discount any thought of God manifesting himself personally.
There are groups or Churches that do teach being born of water and Spirit but NOT the Oneness of God.
James Lee Beals Charismatic Church in Detroit taught born of water and Spirit both in Jesus name and with tongues. Yet they were Trins.
