Today we are presented with a "revisionist history" that "all" Apostolics believe water and Spirit baptisms equal the new birth but that is not actually true. For years Apostolics believed and preached that salvation took place in a person's life prior to and separate from water and Spirit baptism. Later, some began to preach the water and Spirit doctrine and now it has become very commonplace in the UPC and we act like it's the only legitimate Apostolic message.

Because I believe that a person is justified/saved/born again by faith and prior to and separate from water and Spirit baptisms, I am comfortable going to a trinity church, fellowshipping Christians from both trinity and oneness backgrounds, and accepting people who love Jesus from both trinity and oneness backgrounds as brothers and sisters in Christ.
