Did Gordon Magee deny Oneness?

That is correct. He never renounced the Oneness doctrine that he so famously defended.

In fact, the Elim Tabernacle in Houston that he Pastored for many years until his retirement is still Oneness, though as Charismatic as a church can get.

I only met the man once. I was very impressed with his tremendous wit, sense of humor and his command of the Word. HIs nine hour debate with Mr. Toddy in Indianapolis with Nathan Urshan moderating is an all-time classic. If anyone is weak on the Oneness doctrine, a listen to that debate will firm up their faith in the truth.

I am a member of the Church of God in Ireland. Pastor Magee was one of our pastors and was instrumental in the churches converting from trinitarianism to oneness. The churches are still oneness to this day. I contacted his niece who now lives in the US. She told me that Gordon Magee certainly did not deny the Oneness doctrine and was horrified to find that anyone might be suggesting it. That settled the issue for me, although I would have been surprised if he truly had denied the doctrine.

A lie travels around the world faster than truth can get it's boots on.

A few years ago, a friend sent me a video of Bro. Magee preaching a message at
J.V. Foster's church in San Antonio, Tx. I believe the title was "The Glorious Gospel
of Jesus Christ". It didn't sound like Bro. Magee had denied the Oneness. He had been
very ill, and Bro. Foster had gone and picked he and his wife up from San Marcos, where
they lived. He was very weak and had to be helped to the pulpit. But when the anointing
came, he preached with such passion. Certainly didn't sound like he had denied the Truth
I heard he died about a month later. I believe he had several heart attacks over a period
of time. Later I contacted his wife in San Marcos and spoke with her. I remember hearing
Bro. W.E. Kidson as a child, in Sherman, Texas. I remember the name of a man associ-
ated with Bro. Kidson, named Eugene Garrett. I am 71 and some names come out of my
memory bank, from time to time.

Hi Brother, Glad to see you weighing in and giving a sure word on this.

I remember that either in the 1980's or early 1990's an Irish preacher who had pastored in Maine used to come preach at the World of Pentecost in Austin, Texas when he would come to visit Gordon McGee in San Marcos (about 30 miles away). I really enjoyed his ministry but can't think of his name. I think his first name was Bob perhaps but can't think of his last name.
