It was sad he died broken he felt he would pull a large number out but he did not althoug he affected a few like Bishop Hancock of Detroit. Bishop Little who was the original secretary of the AWCF was out of Hancock's church I asked him on the platform of Melvin's Boyd's church at Nashville if he was Oneness he went around the barn several times and never answered. This movement is a joke it is an umbrella for:
Adam doctrine
Spiritual Communion doctrine
Divine Flesh doctrine
that was founded by a man who taught 2 in the Godhead and the secretary believed the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

I'm not sure what you are referring to as the "Adam Doctrine."
Didn't Bishop Rowe teach that Jesus was born human, became God at His baptism when the Spirit descended like a dove, and then ceased to be God as He hung on the cross just before He cried out, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
Didn't Bishop S.C. Johnson (or Johnston) believe that also about Jesus?
Elder Epley,
like someone else has said, you need to get some of your historical knowledge out of your head and into a book so it can be preserved for posterity. Knowing you, you would "tell it like it is" and not try to be politically correct.
Maybe you could do it by writing a series on Apostolic/Pentecostal history and have it published as an ongoing series in the Apostolic Compass or Apostolic Standard.
