Re: Andrew Urshan denouncing the "new issue"
Personally, I *still* find it strange that so many people are Oneness and believe in baptism in Jesus' name yet claim to be 'one steppers'. Seems like most 'one steppers' not only have a low view of baptism, but have a low view of Oneness itself. What I mean is, just as they see Jesus' name baptism as being a small matter of a 'preferred formula', they see Oneness/Trinity as a small matter of interpretation.
Almost as if the 'one steppers' so called are really just adherents to Barth's 'economic trinitarianism' rather than being full-blown 'Oneness'????
Also, I just never understood the idea that Jesus' name believers could maintain the modern evangelical view of baptism.
I am suspecting the original PCI folks did not feel quite the same way about baptism that their claimed descendants do.
