This really bugs me when people say that - - out of 4,600 people there might be 10? If even that many. Good grief!

My kids have been on here long enough to play a joke on me and they have no interest in being on here at all. Someone already made the point that no kid would want to hang out on here.

I would be thrilled to death if my children were so interested in studying theology and the deep questions of the Bible that they hung out here.

Seriously, though.... no, this isn't a place for children..... but that article wasn't really about children, either.

Well, it's still the common thread that draws everyone here. Even dissenters have a history in Oneness Pentecostalism, and some, though they've left, still have valued relationships with brothers/sisters in OP.

I was representing myself in that post. I'm probably not Oneness Pentecostal, judging by the common belief of OP's -- but we share many things in common (workings of Spirit, skepticism concerning the Trinity, history, etc).

Historical note:

For those might remember, a year or so ago I posted a note that I was banned from EA. No warning or reason given, no communication or challenge allowed, even when asked by long time EA members and at least one in UPCI national leadership. So, I take the 'high regard' of that forum with a little salt, okay, you might also add a squeeze of lime, and jigger of tequila.

It does me. Yes, the forum has some negative aspects. But there is also tons of good here. I've made some great friends, found great support, and been able to discuss things that I could never discuss with anyone before. I am always challenged to study more, and to be SURE that what I believe is backed up by scripture. Because if it's not - someone is going to call me on it.

I think the poster isn't speaking exclusively to the "Oneness" part of that, as much as an overarching belief system that he calls "Oneness Pentecostal."

My guess?

And as far as outright Trinnies, yeah, 10 may be a high number.

Backsliders? Compromisers? Oh... about 90% of you all!

They go around banning folks? *GASP*

You aren't a card-carrying WPF brother.

Good grief.

So there's no confusion-

Paul, I'm still more Apostolic than you'll ever be.
