Not all Oneness believers speak the same things. Neither do all Trinitarians. I don't think it is desperate at all. Your being second generation Oneness means nothing. It carries no more authority than me being first generation.
Did you know back in the 1940's being Pentecostal meant you would be ridiculed and persecuted in the USA? They spoke evil of them but perhaps history will not speak so evil since the Catholic church doesn't rule along with political governments as it did then.
I'm very passionate that what I believe from the Bible is the truth. I have no doubts. I have examined it for myself. Because of that I can without hesitation affirm: The Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting and
his TRUTH endures to all generations. The truth of the new birth and one God who is singular in number according the word of God has
ENDURED to All generations. It may not have made the history books during certain periods of history, but the truth was believed somewhere on this planet. And just like the Chinese Christians have to go underground, I believe Oneness believers did as well. God will reserve himself a remnant.
