LOL! you really should read the rules section that you agreed to when you signed up!
We are an eclectic group of folk that are tenuously connected by a simple idea that
Acts 2:38 is the proper response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now exactly what that means is pretty wide and varied.
Some of us believe that you are saved only if you have been baptized in Jesus name and have received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Some of us believe that you are saved when you repent and that saved people will go on to be baptized in Jesus Name and will receive the Holy Ghost.
Some of us believe that you are saved at repentance and that saved people generally (but not always) make a public profession by being baptized. (this might be in the title or in the name of Jesus). Generally even this group on AFF will generally baptize people in Jesus name but consider baptism according to Mt. 28:19 to be equally valid.
There are a few around here that think everyone will eventually be saved, even the most evil among us.
There are some that are former members of Oneness believing churches but now either go to mainline Trinitarian churches (Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian etc).
There are some that once belonged to Oneness churches but now go nowhere.
There is at least 1 former AOG person who has never believed the Oneness doctrine.
Oneness doctrine would be (in a very simplified nutshell) that there is one God that has manifested Himself to mankind as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus was God manifest in the flesh.
So, what are you?
