Our culture is trending from old hymnals to karaoke screen style. Singing is one way to ingrain the doctrinal creed in the church. I grew up sing "It's All in Him" and others oneness songs out of the "Pentecostal Praises" hymn book. Are there oneness doctrinal songs being written in contemporary form these days that can be transformed onto the screen?

We sing it every baptismal service as the person leaves the water.

A list of oneness doctrinal songs would be great. Is there one already on the forum somewhere?

How many Apostolic churches are utilizing songs written by their own congregants. I have written a few songs that we implement into our worship services at times. We still sing out of the hymnal too! I love the old songs. I like modern music that is Biblically based as well. There is nothing more special to me than Apostolic Doctrine in a song!

Verses to one of the songs we do

1.
You are high and lifted up
Far beyond the Heavens
And every eye shall see
They shall see your Kingdom come
You are Lord of all Creation
Now in flesh appearing
And by your blood and by your Name
You have made us your own

2.
A great gulf was fixed between us
That could not be bridged
Only by a sinless sacrifice
Could we ever truly live
So the God who knew no corruption
The Righteous became sin
Partaking of His own Judgment
So that He a Bride could win

Do you think a mute person could baptize an individual?

If I get baptized for the wrong reasons, did I still complete the salvation process if I receive the Holy Ghost?

If I fake speak in tongues and get baptized, obey holiness standards, will my brothers and sisters know he difference?

1. Interesting question! Not sure, but the apostles were told to both preach and baptize...

2. I believe one must be baptized "for the remission of sins", otherwise you just got wet and did not get BAPTISED.

3. You can fool people but not God.

That's really good. I'd love to hear the melody... hint hint...
