Bible Note: Oneness Pentecostalism "Christianity Without the Cross: A History of Salvation in Oneness Pentecostalism" by Thomas A. Fudge ____________________ 'The so-called "revelation" of the Oneness of the Godhead was a sad and mistaken notion...' ____________________ 'Scholarly expose on the United Pentecostal Church, December 2, 2003 Reviewer: harris1515 from Bossier City, LA USA 'This book confirms what I have always believed about the Oneness Movement. It is "another Gospel" (Gal. 1:6-9) that preaches "another Jesus" (I John 2:22-23). While these godly people are sincere and, I believe, have a genuine experience with the Lord, it is certainly not because of the message they preach, but because of their love and devotion to the Lord (who has never made "correct" theology a basis for acceptance by Him). They are like the Ephesians in Acts 19 who received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit after confessing, "we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost". The theological errors of the Oneness Movement in general and the United Pentecostal Church specifically are summarized in Fudge's book in an excellent and scholarly manner: '1. Their denial of the Holy Trinity. '2. Their failure to preach the true Gospel message that we are saved by grace through faith alone in Christ's sacrifice on the cross. '3. Their insistence that they alone have the truth and that all Trinitarians are going to hell. 'That which surprised me most about the book was the fact that the "founders" of the Oneness movement such as H.A. Goss who were excluded from the Assemblies of God for these aberrant beliefs, never took the "hardline" doctrinal view that is now espoused by the United Pentecostal Church. In fact, they referred to the Trinitarians they had once associated with as "their brethren." How could they do any other? It was Trinitarians who won them to the Lord, baptized them in water, and led them into the experience of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit! The so-called "revelation" of the Oneness of the Godhead was a sad and mistaken notion of Frank Ewart and Glenn Cook trying to explain their insistence on baptizing people in the name of "Jesus only." I long for the day that the Oneness Movement will repent of their doctrinal errors and be reunited with the mainstream of Christianity and their Pentecostal brethren they now refuse to accept. We love you and want to welcome you back home' (www.amazon.com). |
