Bible Note: Acts 24:14 certainly does not outweigh the volume or the validity of Scriptural evidence I have presented in reply to the issue. SINCE THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF, ANY INTERPRETATION OF "A SPECIFIC PASSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS THE GENERAL TEACHING OF THE BIBLE IS TO BE REJECTED." (Emphasis added.) "The problem is that a group’s denial of an essential biblical teaching *excludes that group from Christianity*. While there may be some Christians *in Oneness churches, the movement as a whole is non-Christian*. As CRI president Hank Hanegraaff has said, “*It would be inappropriate to argue that* Jehovah’s Witnesses or various other groups are non-Christian because they deny the doctrine of the Trinity, but that *the United Pentecostal Church can reject the Trinity and still be considered Christian.*” "The Oneness denial of the true nature of God is HERETICAL. *Additional false teachings* only compound *their error*. If you want to know more about *the dangerous HERESY know as Oneness Pentecostalism*, CRI has several valuable resources available." (Emphasis added.) Material found at: www.equip.org/search/ |
