Bro. Bill Drost and Bro. Wynn Stairs were what we call "one-steppers" on this forum.
It's not that they did not believe in the new birth --they believed a person was born again prior to water and Spirit baptism.
When Bro. Epley says, "They did not believe the New Birth Message," he means, "They did not believe the (three-step) New Birth Message as currently taught by many Oneness Pentecostals."

Re: Bill Drost

Well, that I do not know but I do know he baptized in Jesus Name and believed in the infilling of the HG...
Could we say that just those 3 steps saves a person? I think not...There are many steps to be saved! One of the steps is following on to know Him, another step is bearing fruit of a christian, another step is LOVE...and on and on...
However I now understand what Brother Epley meant...

I personally feel there are a lot of steps to be saved...and I am still taking them!

Saved at repentance .... one step....repentance,water baptism, HG ...three step....

Becoming like HIM...thousands of steps....

They did not believe the necessity of obeying Acts 2:38 to be born again.

Re: Bill Drost

I only know stories of Brother Drost through stories my husband tells me...He seemed to be quite a man! He won my husbands heart when my husband was 12 I believe it was by buying him icecream and shoes for his birthday!
Strange but children grow to become adults but seldom forget some act of kindness shown to them.
I met Sister Ruth and we wrote back and forth for a long time years ago but they were no longer in South America they were in Spain.

Re: Bill Drost

I have no personal knowledge of what they personally believed...guess I thought they believed Acts 2:38.

I did not know that. Does the UPC teach that?

Some missionaries particularly those from the Atlantic district did not believe the new birth. And in time they were weeded out.
