Re: Phillips, Craig and Dean to sing @ POA!
OK LadyRev, but who are you accusing of doing this? I only mentioned the concert and that that I was shocked that they are going to be there. I think it is TOTALLY awesome that it is happening. I think that the UPC is on the cusp of some greater things than they have accomplished thus far. The good things that will be happening will be outside the norm or what once was. If you had me in mind on the gossip front then think again. I know that the POA are 3 steppers and the PCD aren't. Not a big deal but thought that perhaps it was an interesting talking point.

Re: Phillips, Craig and Dean to sing @ POA!
Maybe the POA and some of the other three-steppers "are looking our way."

Isn't this defiling the House of God?
Note. These are not my beliefs but they do represent many in Oneness Pentecost.

Very few in the UPC, and even fewer that matter in any significant way.

You seriously think so? I know very, very few - if any - Oneness Pentecostals who think any trinitarian will be saved (besides the people on AFF who believe that).

Ok - well I know many, even in the UPC, but there was also much more to the post I quoted than that.
As to Oneness Pentecostals in general, I will say the vast majority believe some Trinitarians will be in heaven.

Re: Phillips, Craig and Dean to sing @ POA!
I will say I am not surprised the POA is having PC&D...wasn't Kenneth Phillips just there not too long ago? And the Gaither Vocal Band has sang there as well...I think it's awesome that they open their church as a musical venue to reach out to others!
When you are a leader such as AM, you are slammed if you do and slammed if you don't. Lucky for all of us he doesn't care! He just continues to do what he feels and I think he's doing an excellent job in Alex! And for the record, I am no longer UPC, so I really shouldn't have an opinion  !!

AG, I will concede that many UPC churches have such an approach. However, the UPC has only a few million members worldwide.
Using Bro Talmage French's numbers in "Our God is One", there are between 23 and 30 million "Oneness Pentecostals" in the world... "Oneness Pentecostals" being defined as those who invoke "Jesus" at baptism and teach the infilling of the Spirit is accompanied with the sign of speaking in tongues.
I doubt the majority of those believe the body of Christ is made up of only those who believe like them. There are plenty who fit the criteria and still are more mainstream - like TD Jakes and the Potter's House and Nashville's Christ Church.

Yes, you are right...the UPC almost always has that approach. And thank you for acknowledging the fact that the UPC is relatively small in comparison to the number of Oneness Pentecostals worldwide!! When I was UPC, I got into the rut of thinking we were the only ones with truth (well, us and the ALJC)! LOL
And I agree with your last statement!

There...now you can gossip about "acceptable terminology" used by a preacher instead of gossiping about POA.
