I have not. The church I attened (which also didn't fellowship any oneness churches, because all others were too liberal) didn't fellowship that church, though they used to. The church with the billboard thought that the other church was compromising because they had Sunday school (God forbid) and allowed women to speak in the service (not preach or teach, just speak).

As ususal with oneness churches everyone on the right of us is considered too strict, and everyone on the left of us too liberal/charismatic, so we only fellowship churches just like us, which normally are few and far between (just my experiences in both UPC and independents).

Re: This is THE Church!

Do they not have fellowship meetings anymore? I use to love attending them growing up.

I don't know. I do know that my last 5 years combined in the oneness movement (3 years UPC, last 2 years independent) except for 1 single service with a UPC that was 2 blocks away, we never had another fellowship service, nada (not counting campmeeting) and the UPC church I attended was smack in the middle of D/FW so it wasn't a logistics thing. The independent church I attened was in a more rural area, though not too far out for good fellowship. In 2 years we visited 2 churches. One we had to cross state lines for (and was a very small church building and congregation less than 20) the other was no longer oneness, unbeknowest to my former pastor, and we never visited them again). They had gone charismatic (for real) I'm talking church members lighting cigarettes immediately after service on the front porch of the church, so this din't set well with any of us.

I don't consider myself OP anylonger. I still hold to the oneness doctrine of the Godhead, and baptize in JN, but don't believe that those who are trinitairan are lost because of doctrinal differences. I DO however believe both oneness and trinitairan people will be lost if their repentance is not a true repentance which results in a changed life, a life of holiness (not necessarily standards) and of the fruits of the Spirit.
