IS ONENESS PENTECOSTALISM A CULT?

WE FOLLOW CHRIST, NOT MEN

We follow the Bible only.

We believe in one God—Father manifest in Jesus.

We practice what the apostles taught: repentance, water baptism in Jesus’ name, and Holy Ghost baptism.

We seek to live holy lives by the power of the Holy Ghost.

A CULT TEACHES:

Adds to or takes away from God’s Word.

Exalts a leader above Christ.

Demands blind obedience.

Isolates members from truth.

Contradicts the Gospel of Jesus.

WE PREACH

JESUS AND HIM CRUCIFIED.

CONCLUSION

ONENESS PENTECOSTALISM IS NOT A CULT.
IT IS A RETURN TO APOSTOLIC TRUTH.

“Your Attitude Reveals Your True Spiritual Condition” means that what’s inside your heart will always show up in how you think, speak, and treat others. You may look spiritual outwardly, but your attitude exposes your real condition before God.

1. Your attitude flows from your heart
📖 Luke 6:45
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good…”
Your words, reactions, and mindset are not random—they come from your inner spiritual state.
Bitter attitude → reveals a wounded or carnal heart
Humble attitude → reveals a surrendered heart
👉 Application:
Don’t just fix behavior—examine your heart daily. Ask: What is really inside me?

2. God looks at the inside, not the outside
📖 1 Samuel 16:7
“Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”
You can:
Serve in church
Sing worship songs
Post Bible verses
…but still carry pride, jealousy, or anger inside.
👉 Application:
Focus less on image and more on inner transformation. God measures your attitude, not your appearance.

3. A wrong attitude cancels right actions
📖 1 Corinthians 13:1–3
“Though I speak with the tongues of men… and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass…”
You can do “spiritual things,” but if your attitude lacks:
Love
Humility
Sincerity
…it means nothing to God.
👉 Application:
Before serving, check your spirit:
Am I doing this with the right heart?

4. Negative attitudes reveal spiritual immaturity
📖 Galatians 5:19–21
Works of the flesh include:
Hatred
Strife
Jealousy
Outbursts of anger
These are not just “personality traits”—they are spiritual warning signs.
👉 Application:
Stop excusing bad attitudes as “just who I am.”
If it doesn’t reflect Christ, it needs to change.

5. A Christlike attitude is the true goal
📖 Philippians 2:5
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”
Jesus showed:
Humility
Obedience
Patience
Love—even under pressure
👉 Application:
In every situation, ask:
“What attitude would Jesus have here?”

6. Your attitude shows if the Spirit is working in you
📖 Galatians 5:22–23
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering…”
These are not just emotions—they are evidence of a healthy spiritual life.
👉 Application:
If these fruits are missing, don’t ignore it—it’s a spiritual check engine light.

🔥 Bottom Line:
Your attitude is not a small issue—it is a spiritual mirror.
It reveals:
what you truly believe
what controls you
how close you are walking with God

📖 1. God is absolutely one (no plurality of persons)
Deuteronomy 6:4
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”
Explanation:
This is the foundational statement of God’s nature.
It emphasizes absolute oneness, not a division into multiple persons.
Supporting verses:
Isaiah 43:10 — “Before Me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after Me.”
Isaiah 44:6 — “I am the first and I am the last; besides Me there is no God.”
👉 Argument: If God is strictly one with no other beside Him, this challenges the idea of three distinct persons as separate centers of consciousness.

📖 2. Jesus is the fullness of God
Colossians 2:9
“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”
Explanation:
This teaches that all of God is fully present in Jesus Christ—not just a “part” of God.
Supporting verses:
John 14:9 — “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”
1 Timothy 3:16 — “God was manifested in the flesh.”
👉 Argument: If the fullness of God is in Jesus, then God is not divided into separate persons outside of Him.

📖 3. Jesus is called the Father
Isaiah 9:6
“…His name shall be called… Everlasting Father…”
Explanation:
The Messiah (Jesus) is directly called Father, not a separate person from the Father.
Supporting verses:
John 10:30 — “I and My Father are one.”
John 12:45 — “He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.”
👉 Argument: This suggests unity of identity, not just unity of purpose.

📖 4. There is one God and one Lord—Jesus
1 Corinthians 8:6
“Yet for us there is one God, the Father… and one Lord Jesus Christ…”
Explanation:
Oneness believers argue this shows God revealed as Father and Lord (Jesus), not separate divine persons.
Supporting verses:
Ephesians 4:5-6 — “One Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all…”
Acts 2:36 — “God has made this Jesus… both Lord and Christ.”
👉 Argument: Jesus is identified with the one Lord of the Old Testament.

📖 5. The name of God is revealed in Jesus
Matthew 28:19
“Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
Compared with:
Acts 2:38 — “Be baptized… in the name of Jesus Christ”
Acts 4:12 — “There is no other name under heaven… by which we must be saved”
Explanation:
The argument is that the singular “name” in Matthew 28:19 is fulfilled in Jesus, which is why the apostles baptized in His name.
👉 Argument: “Father, Son, Holy Spirit” are titles, but the revealed name is Jesus.

📖 6. God is a single Spirit
John 4:24
“God is Spirit…”
Supporting:
2 Corinthians 3:17 — “Now the Lord is the Spirit…”
Romans 8:9 — Spirit of God = Spirit of Christ
Explanation:
These verses are used to show that God is one Spirit, not three separate persons.

🔥 Key Conclusion (Oneness Perspective)
These verses are used to support:
God is absolutely one
Jesus is the full manifestation of that one God
Father, Son, and Spirit are not separate persons, but different ways God reveals Himself

03/08/2026

This topic is deeply theological, and different Christian groups understand it in very different ways. I’ll explain the Oneness (non-Trinitarian / UPCI-style) perspective you’re asking about, along with commonly cited Bible verses.

1. The Bible teaches one God, not three persons
Deuteronomy 6:4 – “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.”
Isaiah 45:5 – “I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me.”
👉 Argument:
Oneness believers say God is absolutely one, not divided into three distinct persons.

2. “Trinity” is not a biblical word
The word Trinity does not appear anywhere in Scripture.
👉 Argument:
They claim doctrines should be explicitly taught in the Bible, not developed later through church tradition.

3. Jesus is the full manifestation of God
Colossians 2:9 – “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
1 Timothy 3:16 – “God was manifest in the flesh…”
👉 Argument:
Jesus is not a “second person,” but God Himself revealed in human form.

4. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are titles, not separate persons
Isaiah 9:6 – Jesus is called Everlasting Father
John 14:9 – “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
2 Corinthians 3:17 – “Now the Lord is that Spirit…”
👉 Argument:
These are different ways God reveals Himself—not three distinct beings.

5. Apostles baptized in the name of Jesus
Acts 2:38 – “…be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ…”
Acts 4:12 – “…there is none other name under heaven… whereby we must be saved.”
👉 Argument:
They interpret Matthew 28:19 (“Father, Son, Holy Ghost”) as fulfilled in the single name Jesus.

⚖️ Important Balance
Trinitarian Christians interpret these same verses differently and point to others like:
Matthew 28:19
John 1:1
2 Corinthians 13:14
They argue for one God in three persons, not three gods.

✔️ Summary (Oneness view)
God is numerically one, not three persons
Jesus is the full revelation of God
Father, Son, and Spirit are roles/titles
Salvation and baptism are centered in the name of Jesus
