    @Naomi25 They not associated with the Assemblies of God which are trinitarian. The largest Oneness Jesus Only organization is the UPCI [United Pentecostal Church International] with headquarters in Hazelwood, MO. There are at least two smaller groups with approximately the same beliefs. I...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    Until a person learns to follow the Holy Ghost, it does not matter how much scripture he knows. The answer is in surrender to God not in arm twisting others with words to convince them that we are right and they are wrong. Give God the glory!

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    Whose heart are you able to read clearly? "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23 Whose lead are we following?

    You simply ran right over the top of it.

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    You have obviously not read with understanding all that we have posted which did include scriptures. You want us to follow what you say is the truth but you are unwilling to even seriously consider what we have already said. The proof does not come from logically analyzing the scriptures, but...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    Do you only read and pay attention to what pleases you and agrees with you? Even if you were right in every point, a lack of charity would leave you with nothing in the eyes of God. You cannot twist arms to convince people of truth. Only God gives the increase. "Though I speak with the tongues...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    This is not your pulpit where only you are allowed to speak. If you speak just to be civil to show the charity about the Apostle Paul wrote you also need to really pay attention to what the other person is saying. You believe that you are right... but so does he. "Every way of a man is right in...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    The anger if it is the anger which Jesus had because those should know better how to please God flagrantly do not, that is one thing. To get angry because someone disagrees with our beliefs is very much another. People with little resemblance to Jesus in so many things want to excuse their...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    The first UPC attended was where I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It is where I first spoke in tongues in 1976. It was where I was taught to read the Bible for the first time in my life. I have been reading it ever since. Yet... in that same assembly when I was completely ignorant of...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    But don't get angry simply because someone disagrees with you. If you are absolutely certain that you are always right on every point and that your opponents are absolutely wrong on every point and you are absolutely certain that God wants you to get angry with them then go ahead. Remember that...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    I spent 11 years within the Oneness, Jesus Only churches so I do know what he intends, but he is looking only at the literal without considering the spiritual part. They put a strong emphasis on saying the words as spoken during the water baptism by Peter here: "Then Peter said unto them...

    Have you been baptised correctly?

    And what is that name that you want to say with your mouth as you are dunking a person in water [H2O]? Is it Jesus, or Jehoshua or Yeshua or Jesu? Should it be pronounced as in English or as in Greek or as in German or as in Hebrew or...etc? If a deaf mute is doing the dunking, should he let...

    Eternal Security

    He will only be saved upon the loss of all his works if he had and has the proper foundation at the end of his course. Without the foundation nothing at all will remain. Notice the difference at the end of the burning between the three Hebrews thrown into Nebuchadnezzar's fiery furnace and the...

    Scripture with Scripture

    Sounds to me like trusting way too much in our own ability to reason in order to obtain truth. We cannot encounter the Truth, God's Truth, or Jesus, by carefully and logically studying the Bible. If this were the way it needed to be done it would give the advantage to the better students or...

    Non-Tongue Speakers Roll Call Poll Survey

    "And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men...

    God Wants His People Well!!

    Jesus paid the price to open the Way for us... but the Way is NOT a bed of roses with no thorns: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." I John 3:2 What is...

    Upon THIS Rock I will build my Church

    Of course the Rock is the proper Foundation. Remember Jesus spoke of it here: "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon...

    Upon THIS Rock I will build my Church

    Their problem was in seeking to elevate themselves. We are certainly to seek, but we need have priorities right: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 Let God do any elevating of us!

    The Doctrine of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

    I have great respect for Bro William Seymour even though my own vision varies a bit from the above diagram of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. He was a black man in a world dominated mostly by white men, even in the churches. But in his time God used him greatly in spite of or perhaps because...
