Talmadge French published some studies several years ago and I seem to remember the numbers being a lot higher.

Yes, this is true, but you will find that many here do not agree with his findings.
I do...

These numbers are purposely skewed! The UPCI alone a couple of years ago boasted nearly 4,000,000 with 1/2 being the Ethiopian church under Teklemariam.

What is an example of a Oneness patting a Trinitarian "enemy" on the back?

Anyone agree or disagree w/ Gill's assertions in this article?

French, I believe, documented over 23 million but estimated the actual number may be as high as 30 million due to statisic issues in some places such as China.

Who said "enemy"?
And by patting on the back I meant that is a metaphor for supporting someone else...like high fiving someone over what they said

I dunno. It is estimated that there are 1.5 billion Christians in the world. Of that number- 600 million are "Pentecostal/Charismatic?" That's 40% of all Christians.
