This came up in the Trinity thread so I will address it. Just because one has been born again by obeying Acts 2:38 does NOT guarantee them into Heaven unless they continue steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine. Pentecost sadly from the 1st century has had men to began to preach perverted teachings that destryed themselves and those who followed them. In Modern times the same has happened men who once preached truth now preach damnable heresies I will name some examples;
1. The "Adam" doctrine.
2. The "Ultimate Reconciliation" doctrine.
3. The "Serpent Seed" doctrine.
4. The "Spiritual Communion" doctrine.
5. The "Divine Flesh" doctrine.
6. The "Full Preterism" doctrine

Didn't you forget the "no outward standards" doctrine??
Servetus has gone down in church and secular history as a martyr to Calvinistic intolerance; his execution in Geneva represents a stain that Reformed Protestantism has never quite been able to efface. As a young man, Servetus propounded the distinctive views that ultimately led him the stake. He held God to be one Person only; this God was the literal, natural father of Jesus Christ, who was therefore God’s natural Son. The body of Christ is the body of the godhead... divine and of the substance of deity. According to Servetus, when the Word became flesh, he brought his flesh down with him from heaven. ” [HERESIES; pg. 330]
“Proponents of the Heavenly Flesh doctrine were trying to explain the incredible impact of a single historical figure, Jesus of Nazareth, and could do so only by seeing him as a divine Visitor from heaven, thus minimizing his humanity and his consubstantiality with us. Rather like the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, it insists that the divine substance is, or at least was, present among us in bodily, physical form.”
Seems like he had a oneness understanding, except for the flesh coming down from heaven part.
Jesus was :God with us, the fullness of the Godhead dwell ed bodily, God was manifest in the flesh. etc......
