No current statistics for the UPCI but driving thru DeRidder La, this last week I saw they now have an additional 2 Oneness Pennycostal churches....I think that makes 11? in a town of 13K?
these people gotta stop. (before blaming the pennycostals, the Baptists and methodists do the same thing)

I see that you missed what was called the "all time great" message preached, hailed to be the summit of all preaching? The title of this ultimate message of all compassing wisdom was, "Send the Heffer Home."
I believed it when it was preached and written and believe it today. Nope did not miss it. It was truly great then and now.
600,000 members in the USA and only 8372 churches? Interesting. That would make the average USA church having a little more than 154 each. Actually, I doubt that the average church has the 54 much less the 154. I wonder where those stats come from. Thinking evangelistically again, are we?
Not sure if anyone else has answered this, but they get their constituency from Easter Sunday attendance. There might be a little "rounding up" to make sure they included those in the restroom, too.

The first sentence is true, the second is a j/k.
Rounding up!
Gotta love those skilled in the fine art of speaking evangelistically.
Of course...you already knew that I KNEW what your answer would be.
The question was asked TIC.
I believed it then, too. I believe it now, as well. Truly a great message delivered by a great messenger.
The original preacher of his disappointed us but his message was still true. Another sad story of Pentecost. So much talent and annointing but whatever?
Took a good church down with him to.
Let me guess... privleged information available only in the Forward??

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
Based on crisscrossing the US on deputation in the 80's, unless there has been a dramatic increase in the last 25 years there are many very small churches in the UPCI.
