He was not hesitant in affirming that all "Trinitarian brothers were in the body of Christ and they would all go up together." He explained his view by saying that both Oneness and Trinitarian believers had been baptized into one body. He openly asserted that baptism was "because of" the remission of sins and therefore a post-salvation matter.
These two incidents are recorded on pages 175 and 176 of the infamous Fudge book.

Well, I think it boils down to either one of these:
1: The UPCi does not preach/believe what it used to and is trying to "rewrite" history.
or
2: Goss' hermeneutics were wrong.
