There are approximately 15 churches in our city. We have been here as a witness to the One God, Acts 2 message of New Testament salvation for over 50 yrs. The other 14 or so churches without exception, are Trinitarian. Why would they need that many churches if they all believed the same.

Because one is not enough....same reason cities have more than one Oneness church
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
I just thought about it and did the math, from my front door to my church round trip is 90 miles, I dont think I have ever thought of it like that before, and I have been making that drive for over 10 years now. I know in Charleston WV, I believe that we have around 9 Oneness churches all within 10 miles of each other, not counting the well over 15 or more that I pass between my house and my church. We have probably 5 churches per square mile in Southern WV and that's no joke! My wont it be fun to see the people that cant get along down here being best friends in Heaven!!!

And, Prax, while some cities have numerous churches, other cities have none! And have never had a Oneness church! WHY?

I know that a lot of churches have men who say they
have been called to preach. They preach in their church,
or other surrounding churches from time to time. It
would be wonderful if some of these God called men
would venture out and start new works in areas that
are so unchurched.

I am always surprised here in Florida on the back country roads I see churches pop up out of no where and even seen a Oneness churches right across from a Baptist church in the middle of no where.

That's all good and well, but, more Preachers should go
where there are NO churches for miles and miles, and start one!

Maybe in that situation a home church is the way its done. Don't need a pastor or preacher all that is needed is a Christ loving disciple who will heed Matthew 28:19 and disciple his or her neighborhood.
