There is much to think about contained in this thread. Oneness Apostolics, of which I am a PART, seem to be afraid to discuss the issue of the Godhead because they are afraid of the word 'trinity', and triune anything, or they really don't know in their minds what they believe.
The Bible tells us to do all in word or deed in the name of Jesus. To me this settles the question of who to pray to, and who's name to baptize in.
Just like earthly Fathers who transfer the family business to the son, I think God transferred all his power and authority to His only begotten son. The spirit that indwells us is that same spirit that dwells in Christ, the spirit of God which is what makes us also a son of God although we are not begotten but adopted.
I agree that the spirit of God and the Holy Ghost which we possess is genderless, but I think we would all have to agree that Jesus Christ was a male child.
Blessings, Rhoni
