Is it really revival?

It it really revival when the ones hosting it do not have the truth about salvation?

Can one really have a TRUE Revival without preaching the oneness of God and the Acts 2:38 plan of salvation?

I do not believe one can hold to false doctrine and have a real Apostolic revival.

Do you know of any Apostolic revivals currently taking place?

So a revival amongst unbelievers is not a move of God?

There is no such thing as a RE-VIVAL (bring back to life, awake from sleep) among unbelievers because they were never alive or awake to begin with. Notice it's RE-vive - to "vive" again.

1739 England
1800-1839 Ranters Revival
1858 Awakening in America

Good point. It is just hard to see winning souls with a false doctrine. JMHO

Well I became a born again believer before all the dots were connected. They got connected later though.

Lots of people get a start in revivals who later come to know "truth" as most Oneness Apostolic folks do. How many people first came to Christ in a Billy Graham crusade or perhaps at some other type of meeting but they were later led or came in contact with the Acts 2:38 message that we all preach?

Many!
