[SIZE=medium]I told a grade 3 what Oneness believes and he said:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]“Tickle me again.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Just a few clear and honorable thoughts.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Oneness does not believe that Jesus, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]the righteous God has a Father, like he said[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Therefore:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]1) Jesus sent himself.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]2) He prayed to himself.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]3) He resurrected himself.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]4) The Word that he said was his Father’s Word, is his,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]5) He sits on his own right hand.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]6) When the voice spoke from heaven, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]it was him, maybe being a ventriloquist.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]7) When he called his Father as a second witness, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]there was no second witness.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]8) They imply that Jesus should not be believed[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]because of falsehoods…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Oneness says that they believe the Apostles’ Doctrine.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Peter’s Testimony is opposite[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]to the character sketch that they teach.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]1 Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium][[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]22[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]] Jesus did not sin, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]neither was guile (cunning craftiness) found in his mouth.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]I have personally done the Baptism, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]like is customary for the people.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]When Jesus is called or prayed to from above the water[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]there is no response…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]I believe that the Oneness baptism is half correct[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]and that they got no response from Jesus.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]My sister did the same and said that: “It did not work.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]It took a week before I suspected the error.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]She re-baptized,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]calling on Jesus,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]from the submerged state,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]and she was all smiles like all others >>[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]We who come to Jesus simply follow[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]the glorified Apostles Teachings[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]and then all things, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]that the Apostles wrote about, follow …[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Matt.18[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium][[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]3[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]] Jesus said,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Verily I say to you, (chosen Apostles):[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Except you (stiff necked Israelites)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]become converted, (reformed)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]and become as (submissive, do as you’re told) little children,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]you shall not enter into the (invisible) Kingdom of Heaven.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium][[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]4[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]] Therefore whoever shall humble himself[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]as this (compliant) little child[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]the same is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]1Pet.5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium][[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]6[/SIZE][SIZE=medium]] Humble yourselves under (Jesus who is),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]the Mighty HAND of GOD, (according to the Apostles Teachings)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]so that he may exalt you (in this life) in due time:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Jesus was totally compliant, even, to his death.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]He is highly dignified and powerful at the right hand of GOD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Grace is great.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]The approach to Jesus is particular.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Access to the Father[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]is given after some growth…[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Christianity is experiential,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]It is not waiting to go to heaven[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]and hoping that things turn out favorably.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]That is gambling…[/SIZE]
