Well I can tell you that trash is NOT preached in my little corner of the UPCI
It's time to speak up. Nobody in leadership will do it because there seems to be this attitude that pastors and celebrities cannot be corrected, unless of course they are fellowshipping with Trinitarians.
Because most 1 Steppers like myself are considerably more tolerant than a true 3 stepper...
While many 1 steppers believe Baptism In Jesus' Name and Speaking in Tongues are important doctrines (even though not salvific) they are tolerant of those believers who disagree with them (both three steppers and Baptists) and expect to see them in heaven.
Why wouldn't you be tolerant when you don't view it as salvific? It's no sweat off your back.
And, BTW, Ephesians says that He sealed us with that Holy Spirit of "promise" which is the "earnest/security" of our "inheritance/heirship". Without it, you are not an heir. So how is that not salvific?
How do you reconcile Romans 8, when it says if you "have not" the Spirit of Christ, you are none/not of His? That sounds pretty serious toward our salvation.

I was just answering the question. Not claiming higher moral ground... cause I'm tolerant like that.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
PO, perhaps we need to review the "High Church" and "Liturgical Worship" threads... for a double barrel of good ole fashion tolerance!?

initial evidence... You equate being spirit filled with tongues. No tongues, no spirit per your doctrine. One steppers believe that people are saved by/at faith. God gives the spirit to those that believe.
