There would have been NO merger thus no need of any AS. Very good.

No and I think the scism left them weak. After the second generation died their holiness began to die speedily and always standards first and doctrine next.
The strengths of each would have preserved each other. My thoughts only.

You forgot about when Steadfast, Iaintmovin, Coonskinner and a host of others split off of AFF forming their own little amen corner on the net.
That's gotta be close to the biggest divisive moment in OP history.

Wasn't that because Murray Burr was not elected GS?

It was over the views on church government I believe.
I spent my first year as a "pentecostal" in an AMF church.
From I heard preached on a regualr basis it was because the UPC had become to liberal on things like TV rings short sleeves and such.
When I moved home after getting out of the Navy, I was told it would be difficult to make it to heaven ion a UPC church. I'd really have to pray hard.

What about the Latter Rain Movement? Wasn't it a source of controversy/division? How did it affect the Oneness movement or did it?
