Regardless, the book is valuable! Very! I don't know if a book recording the OP movement could be written without some sort of bias on the part of the author but regardless I wish there were more written and hope there will be. |
One thing about the book that impressed me was that what we call the "One-step" plan of salvation was (and still is in my opinion) a valid belief among those who call themselves Oneness Pentecostal or Apostolic. Many (we really don't know the actual number) ministers, preachers, and teachers (including officials of the UPC) believed and taught that a person is saved/justified/born again prior to water baptism and Spirit baptism. This was also taught in some UPC Bible Schools and was a valid viewpoint to be expressed in the Pentecostal Herald. Not all Apostolics are "three-steppers." Some are "one-steppers."
