I would like to correct one thing... Tenney has added a doctrinal section......
"God There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three Manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."
He eternally exists as three manifestations? when I was oneness I viewed this as a diluted form of trinitarianism... What do you think?
I think none of us really understand God. That's what I think!
He is infinite and we aren't; I think the godhead is a mystery. I have my ideas, but I don't condemn those who don't agree. I don't call myself oneness or trinitarian; I don't like either term. Neither is Biblical. If you asked our people which they were, they wouldn't even understand the question. We don't make an issue of it, but we do baptize in Jesus' name because that's what we see in scripture.

You're shocked, why???? I don't like the term. Where is it in the Bible? I believe God is one God, but there are scriptures that definitely have distinction in the roles of the Father, Son & Holy Ghost. I don't even try to claim that I understand it all.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
I really wonder if Jakes cares much what his "critics" think.
Maybe not, but I like how he responded to them, anyway.
