The message of Oneness was first delivered to the Pentecostals in 1913 in a camp meeting in Arroyo Seco, California. Evangelist R.E. McAlister was given the “new revelation” of baptism in the name of Jesus. Three men were influenced by this new revelation, these were Frank Ewart, G.T.Haywood, Glenn Cook. Ewart reached the conclusion that the singular “name” in Matthew 28:19 was Jesus Christ. He came to believe that the one true God who had revealed himself as Father, in the Son, and as the Holy Spirit was none other than Jesus Christ. To support this view, he pointed to Colossians 2:9, which states that in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

This process is actually being repeated over and over within the church body today. The church is becoming more and more divided. Jesus warned a house divide will soon fall Matt 12:25. EdB |
