Re: Oneness Pentecostals in 1911?

Here is an article about Michael Servetus who was burned on a stake for denying the trinity in the 1500's. Go down to theology.

Re: Oneness Pentecostals in 1911?

This is my home church. Born and raised in Newark. My grandfather Howard Dyer pastored there from 1947-1970. My uncle by marriage RA Newstrand pastored there from 1970-2006. I was a youth pastor there from 1987-1991, then again from 1992-2000. My parents are still members and my dad is a Trustee.

I had always heard 1916 as the start date under Frush. He has relatives that still attend that church. We celebrated the church's diamond anniversary (75th) in 1991. Billy Cole preached the weekend services. I was somewhat surprised when in 2011 the church celebrated 100 years under the new pastoral leadership. I don't know how the narrative of 1916 changed, UNLESS Frush, like many OPs of that era was a trinitarian first, began his ministry in 1911, then got the revelation of Jesus Name and the church became oneness in 1916. That would seem a more likely scenario. I don't think you can find modern OPs until 1914.

By the way, the AG and CoG have never been able to thrive there. There used to be probably about 15 OP churches in the area. The AG had only two for a long time, then a third. The CoG had one that I knew of. The ALJC for years had their district campground in a small town outside of Newark called Hanover. Literally a stone's throw from Newark. The UPC camp in Millersport was only about 15 minutes away in the neighboring county.

Re: Oneness Pentecostals in 1911?

For years CAC was the only UPC church in the city. RAN was district supt for 18 years. After he ceased to be supt and then retired, several of the ALJC churches crossed over to the dark side and joined the UPC. The Ohio ALJC used to be one of their strongest districts. I believe most of their anchor churches: Barberton, Newark, Zanesville, and Cincinnati have all joined the UPC.
