Could the UPCI/ALJC, etc. become bypassed by God?

In case you were wondering I attend a wonderful UPC church, so don't think I am an outsider looking in.

Everyday of my life I pray for revival to sweep across our world...no He does not need the help of any said group but WE need HIS help very much.

I know God very much believes in church government. I have wondered in passing how He might set that up. There was no one leader over the church except Jesus Christ Himself in Acts. There was a head of the Jerusalem church, a council of the Apostles (Acts 6), bishops over cities (Titus, Timothy, Corinth if I am not mistaken), etc.

As per my original post I can definitely see another meeting at the SBC where the discuss tongues and the manifestation and while speaking on these things He pours out His Spirit. I could see them saying to each other, "How could we speak against these things, seeing as God has done to us as He has the Apostles?". Once again they will search the only scriptures with history recorded of actual church events (Acts) and begin to see they only baptized according to Acts 2:38. Bro. Tenney (say what you will) has made inroads in their circles and the message is cirulating amongst them.

SB missionaries are seeking God for help against the devils and witch doctors they face overseas and are being filled with the Holy Ghost, reeporting back to their overseers and then getting yanked off the field. The official position now is that tongues are not of the devil, but are for a private prayer language. That's progress. Imagine the house of cards that will fall amongst the Baptist (and the shocked reactions among Apostolics) when the lame walk and the blind see at the hands of a Baptist missionary newly filled with the Spirit. It's going to happen. I promise you it is going to happen.

I have met or know of a good number of Messianics. Oneness being in the minority. Not that I want it to be that way. Can you name one Messianic org or even group that is Oneness and baptizes in the name of Yeshua? I hope so but I doubt it.

That's surprising. I wonder how many are Gentiles from denominal churches and how many are Jews?
