They remind me a lot of UPC in their teachings regarding the Baptism of the Holy Ghost though. Though Jimmy rarely mentions Baptism of the Holy Ghost that is all that Donnie Swaggart talks about.
I have very rarely heard them mention Oneness. Their beef with Oneness is that we say that they are not saved. I have heard them say that they believe WE are saved but wrong.
Many times I think people think Swaggart is talking about UPC when he is not. I have only rarely heard him mention UPC and it was almost like he had no clue who UPC was.

Delta, I read your post on another thread too about doubting RP even knew who the UPC was. Of course they do! The largest oneness organization in the country! Influential. Great preachers. Some of the finest preachers even. There's no doubt in my mind, all of Christendom knows who the UPC is. And that's not being egocentric about our organization. It's pretty solid. I've never met a minister from a different denomination that answered me "UPC? What's that?" Either way, UPC
is those oneness people that he is referring to, since... we are ONENESS!
BTW... count me in as one "afraid" of homosexuality and free masons.
