DA, this quote is quite interesting I think - certainly not what one expects from traditional Trinitarians today.
“He that is baptized in the Name of Christ, is baptized in the Name of the Holy Trinity: for the Father and the Holy Spirit are inseparable from the Son. One person of the Holy Trinity does not exclude another but includes it…To be baptized in the Name of Jesus, is to be baptized in the Name of the Triune God, which could not be, unless Jesus Christ were God.”
I totally agree Boora's conclusion is bizarre though...
"Therefore, the United Kingdom was home to baptism in the name of Jesus for centuries."

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
It's sad because all of this information will probably fall on deaf ears as most people will not sort through all of the pages of this thread to properly understand it all. It needs to be summarized and made publicly available. Dan, don't you own www.apostolicidentity.com?
Good to know Ensey is promoting the work of a career doctoral impostor ....
I've read Boora's books and his "research" is a laugh. He even utilizes the old canard about the settler's on Billy's Island in the Okefenokee Swamp being "persecuted Oneness Apostolics."
They were not "persecuted" in any way. They just liked to live in out and away from a lot of people and development. Also, they would be more accurately compared to "Baptist" in their beliefs and practice.
Quote:
The church at Fort Mudge is called the "Pilgrim's Hope," possibly because the pilgrims who worship at this shrine are always hoping for many things which they never get. As a specimen of modern architecture it can scarcely be called imposing. Its ventilation is perfect, and is attained by the means of large cracks through the log walls. Indeed, the entire house is constructed of logs, with abundance of space between them for fresh air and for viewing the surrounding country. We found some fifty or more pilgrims assembled, and two preachers favored us with discourses - the Rev. Richard Lee and Rev. Moses Thrift. If the faith of these pilgrims be measured by the time they spend at their devotions, they all deserve a high place, for services commenced at a little before twelve and wound up a little after four. Each of the ministers opened by saying he had preached out and had nothing to say; yet each occupied about two hours to get rid of that nothing.
The Rev. Moses Thrift devoted a considerable portion of his time to the matters of "Infant Baptism" and "Sunday schools." These he denounced vigorously and warmly. He had the orthodox Baptist drawl at the end of every two or three words, which was doubtless very pleasant to the brethren, but which made his utterances so indistinct that I could understand but a very small part of what he said.
The men and women were separated during the services, and everything was conducted in a very democratic way. Men, women and children would go out and return as often as they desired, the sleepy slept, and the thirsty made repeated trips to the water bucket. Generally, however, the behavior of the congregation was devout, and there were beyond doubt many good people present. [But] the exercises were entirely too long and wearied out everybody.
Howell Cobb Jackson, Atlanta Journal, 1890
Fort Mudge, Georgia is on the northern shore of the Okefenokee Swamp and Rev. Richard Lee was a relation to Daniel Lee, the noted "squatter" on Billy's Island in the swamp.
You won't find the word's "Jesus name baptism" or "received the Holy Ghost as evidenced by speaking in other tongues" or the term "Oneness" associated with any one in this region except in the writings of Oneness Apostolics. It is a plain invention.
Boora simply parrots this error. The doctoral level training he boasts of appears to have left him unable to perform any original research.
