The "human race" would appear to be the most accurate assignment for each of us.

I think that would be Jakes. While he may not claim the "Oneness" label, I think he would qualify by the standards French used in his research for "Our God is One".

Is "white" a race?

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Sounds like racism to me

You are right, but I was using the "Apostolic or Pentecostal" banner to make the answer. But you are right.

Re: Biggest UPC church in the US???

Several years ago i discovered that my church attendance on the board in the vestibule, was not the sunday morning count (which was always the way i had seen it, growing up as a pastors kid) but it was the combined attendance, with no one being counted twice, of all the services each week.When that started to go around, the board label got changed to" weekly attendance".then when the entry was remodeled, someone took the golden opportunity to toss it out and no one has missed it since.Where this fuzzy number business started i dont know.Its lying IMO.
