Actually, there are several million people worldwide who believe in the "oneness" doctrine. I wouldn't put Brandon on the spot to judge another christian. Doens't the Word say judge not lest you be judged?

Reading the comments posted on this subject, my heart sank. There are so many people that would sow bad seeds and try and tear each other down. Bless you Brandon for standing up for your beliefs. In my opinion, you just wanted to open up some dialogue and you were nearly crucified. I'm a former UPCI member and I won't ever go on the side of bashing the church. I won't tell you

I wanted to express my concern I felt while reading some recent postings, especially the confirmed luthern brother. While I sensed there were still much pain from your experience with the church you attended, the UPCI churches isn't trying to decieve anyone with putting on a smiling face. I believe God is doing a great thing in the oneness movement by allowing the members to experience and

I am a little bewildered by your comment about an apostolic cult that you claim you were involved in. Not all apostolics are alike. Just like not all Baptist, Lutherns, ect....are alike.

I'm an active member of a church affiliated with the UPCI and I certainly understand that many in this world would few personal standards as peculiar. Doesn't the word of God declare that we are a peculiar people...a royal priesthood that we should show forth the praises of God? Please be careful to make light of matters that you have no knowledge of. Many churches in the organizat

While many people don't understand why members of this organization dress the way they do and worship the way they do, the fact is that these people love God with all their hearts. Not everyone associated with this organization is close minded and feels that if you don't believe in the doctrine that you are bound for hell. Many of us believe that we shouldn't judge other christ

I've read many article and comments this week regarding UPCI. I know that many people were hurt by misguided and close minded individuals, but the organization shouldn't be labeled as a cult because of those people. I wasn't raised in the church and was a trinitarian while growing up. It wasn't until my late teens that I became interested in the "Oneness" doctri
