I think though it is very important we decide which direction we are taking. Are you for Oneness Pentecostalism or are you against it? Daniel Alicea? John? Pel? I would like to know since both of you have only defined your theological views around fringe issues in OP (magic hair, diploma mills). I understand criticism but are you trying to really help it or tear it down. I think it would be nice if you at least state your motivations here.

Those who associate themselves with criminal organizations are the ones who are "tearing down" the Oneness message.
As I pointed out in another thread - I went through something like this before when the President of Gateway College was indicted for fraud. It was front page news while I was at Bible school.
As it turns out, the president was only trying to make a fast buck and had been badly duped. He was never charged and appears to have been innocent of everything except very poor judgement.
I learned something from that... sort of. I did persist within the "mainstream" of the Oneness movement. As a result, I myself was investigated by local police and the FBI due to the antics of another local UPC pastor. That's when I began to wise up.
Please. Learn from my experience JA.
