From what I've read so far is seems like the teaching that connected John 3:5 and Acts 2:38 and considered the new birth, or initial salvation, as a process and not a point in time originated in the 1910s and 1920s and is unique in the history of the Christianity. I am very interested to know if any other groups may have taught this as well.
Since I attend a UPCI church, I am in particular interested in how two organizations (PAJC and PCI) formed a merger though no unanimity existed regarding how Acts 2:38 was to be understood, though all practiced it. (Now there is, officially at any rate, unanimity: the PAJC view has prevailed, that is, the doctrine of water and Spirit. It interests me a great deal that it was not always so.) |
Did you ever read William Chalfant Ancient Champions of Oneness or Oneness Pentecostalism: History of the Jesus Name Movement by Daniel Butler?
