Ha! I wouldn't doubt it. Probably just bidding his time...when hardwick is gone

Oratory isn't the true test--it is his thinking and ideology.

He may have a folksy, somewhat watered down "Pentecostal" delivery style, but underneath all that is a mind that is heavily influenced by Anglican thought, so much so that his credentials reflect that.

But still, anglicans are Trinitarian end of story- there is no such thing as a oneness anglican

Understood. What I mean is that there is no way that he fits in an Anglican box, IMO, based on his type of sermons and the things he say in the sermons.

I don't see why anyone would make excuses for the inexcusable. Some seem to be inclined to bend over backward so as to give him maximum benefit of the doubt on this. Why, I'm not sure.

The man has made clear where he stands by those he has chosen to affiliate with. I mean really, he put it on his own church website (!) Why would anyone continue to be in denial on this?

When a preacher who came from a Oneness background lets it be known on his website that he is now an ordained Anglican, obviously he's not being shy about it; he's making a statement of some kind.

Obviously the man is not my pastor, but I find stuff like this very disturbing.

I've seen Catholics preachers who don't fit into the "Catholic box", but they're still Catholics.

I predict when Elder Hardwick is totally out of the way most ex-UPC folks will find another home even a new church might be born with the old philosophy of Elder Hardwick.

Unless he comes right out and admits it, I don't think there is any way that Dan Scott could be lumped in with true tri-theists. There are many people who even call themselves trinitarians who believe oneness. For whatever reason, Dan decided to align himself with the Anglican group and I doubt very seriously if it had anything to do with godhead theology. My guess is that he was able to overlook their view of the godhead in favor of something he felt he could identify with.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to get robe or a censer, but Dan's roots are clearly oneness to the core. I really don't think he's a trinitarian.

Reading his blog I don't think he has any idea what he is. You know more about him than he does.

I would like to think you're just being facetious with that, and that would never actually happen. But you just never know.

A buddy of mine told me about an Apostolic pastor he knew who ended up backslid, and converting to Islam, and of course and most of his flock didn't see that coming either. (This pastor started out just renting the church building to a group of Muslims to have meetings there..... later started studying with them... and later ended up joining them!)

Once a person starts to drift away from sound doctrine, you just never know where they'll end up.
