All spiritual calisthenics and suppositions aside: YOU, sir, obviously do a massive amount of research when gathering facts and points for your presentations. I can only imagine the herculean effort (and countless hours) you go through to produce each one of these videos! Hat's off to you! Thank you! God bless.

As someone who has seriously looked into Oneness Pentecostalism and at one point been heavily influenced by their theology, I must say this is a very well researched video that covers everything important. Good job

I was a oneness Pentecostal, UPCI, 5th generation, born and raised, bible school, licensed and ministered as one. I am now a trinitarian Dutch reformed, thank God for illumination and truth!

As a Oneness Pentecostal who has grown up in the UPCI, attended Indiana Bible College 2 years and is currently a Youth Pastor in a UPCI Church as well as other ministry roles I think this was the best and most accurate description of Oneness Pentecostalism from a non-Oneness person I have ever heard. Thank you for just stating information rather than bashing our beliefs without understanding them like most people do. You actually quoted from people I have literally been taught by, from books I own and from people I have been in the same rooms with. I would say one thing- we have shifted through the years on TV & sports. Many UPCI churches are much more relaxed on those issues. Other than that, I think you are up to date and did a good job.

I noticed that first Corinthians 14:1 was misquoted by the upci. Paul did not encourage the church to specifically pursue tongues, but rather to prophesy. I also noticed that at UPC churches everyone speaks in tongues at the same time, but Paul also talked against this. The veil is definitely being lifted from my eyes, as I was part of the UPC Church for 12 years

One of my good friends goes to a UPCI church, and she & her family have invited me to go with them to the UPCI's General Conference this year; I am EXTREMELY EXCITED 💚👍😁!!!

[warpotentials]

This is very well researched as a Oneness Pentecostal myself

[approvedstudent]

This was a very accurate representation of us UPC folks - thank you for doing a great job! If anyone has any questions about our beliefs, ask away! I would love to answer (licensed UPC minister here).

[baileyfervin]

I think this is an overall great and unbiased explanation of the Oneness view! I'm thankful to be a Oneness Pentecostal and have the biblical revelation of the mighty God in Christ!

[hanklhayes]

Professional as always, Joshua. I appreciate it! I’m grateful to be a minister associated with the UPCI.
