From my understanding, Oneness Pentecostals do not reject the Trinity; but because they emphasize the Oneness of the Lord they are persecuted by those who do not understand their position and considered to be non-Trinitarians by them.Baffling. The prime reason LDS are not welcome in Protestant circles is because of their rejection of the Trinity. I know this because the RLDS Church is considered Protestant for this one reason.
So why do you crusade against LDS and embrace another church that rejects the Trinity?
Some have responded to this persecution by emphasizing the Oneness of the Lord even more, to the exclusion of the understanding of the distinction between the members of the Trinity.
God is indeed absolutely One. And Tritheists have a fit when we emphasize this Oneness. And this is why we do it. Although we believe in a distinction between the members in Our Triune God, we emphasize the Oneness of God in order that we might combat the heresy of Tritheism.
Sometimes we won't even talk about what we know is in scripture concerning the three-ness of the one God in order that those who do not understand His Oneness may come to the understanding that He is indeed One.
Believing that He is three to the exclusion of the understanding that He is One is in fact a belief in three Gods; which is unbiblical and even idolatry.
