Is there any reference in the Bible to prove or give any valid support to Oneness Pentecostalism (Jesus is Father is Holy Spirit)? There is not a oneness verse in the entire bible a few times you'll have to go to the orginal language to see that. The United Pentecostals truly do not believe in oneness. They claim they do but they have such a hard time even coming close to proving it. My Grandfather in the 1930's Started the United Pentecostal Church where I am from. They consider him the father of the oneness moment. Anyway he went looking for a church a few years latter where my family and I were living at the time. My dad told him to go to this pentecostal church (Who weren't oneness) My dad didn't know they believed in the trinity at the time. My Grandfather went there and said he really liked it. After that he believed in the trinity. He died triniturian. Most of my relatives are still oneness but they can't strickly say why they are oneness and if you talk to them they will slip a few times Mentioning the Father and Jesus being distinct. Thats my experence with the "oneness" moment. In Christ, Darcy |

Darcy - In my life I've seen enough examples to convince me that large numbers of believers hold the religious beliefs that they do and join themselves with the communion that they do for no other reason than family tradition. ..... A former pastor of mine often told the story of a young wife who, when preparing a roast for the oven, took a butcher knife and cut away a small portion of one end of the roast and discarded it. Upon being asked by her husband why she did such a thing, she responded, "Because that's what my mother always did." The young husband was curious and so he approached his bride's mother with the question, "Why do you chop off an end of a roast before cooking it?" The mother-in-law said, "Because that's what MY mother always did." Finally, the young man put the same question to the grand-mother and she said, "I chopped off the end because the roast would not otherwise fit into my baking pan." ..... Robert Frost in his poem "Mending Wall" has something to say about blindly following tradition. ..... The necessity is incumbent upon all believers to be Bereans always and to test what they are taught and asked to believe against the truth of Scripture, without regard to family or church tradition. --Hank | ||||||
