This section is on Oneness Pentecostalism, also known as the United Pentecostal Church International and Jesus Only, examining what they teach concerning the nature of God and Salvation.  Our intention is to shed light on why Oneness Pentecostals are not of the Christian faith but have been deceived with false doctrines of which the Bible warns of another Jesus and another gospel.

Many people do not know who Oneness Pentecostals are or what they believe.  Some people have asked are Oneness Pentecostals Christians? Oneness Pentecostals and those involved with the United Pentecostal Church International have many unbiblical false doctrines and false teachings contrary to the Christian faith.  What are the main doctrines of the UPCI that are false?  The UPCI rejects the doctrine of the Trinity Doctrine; rejects God revealed in three distinct personages; rejects salvation by grace through faith alone apart from works; and they state those who believe in such man-made doctrines are not saved. (Christians)  The UPCI holds to a oneness view of God, which means they believe God has been revealed through three manifestations not personages.  The UPCI teaches that a person must not only believe in Jesus (the oneness view) but also be water baptized (in Jesus name only) and speak in other tongues in order to be saved. (as the evidence of being baptized with the Holy Spirit)

"In distinction to the doctrine of the Trinity, the UPCI holds to a oneness view of God. It views the Trinitarian concept of God, that of God eternally existing as three distinctive persons, as inadequate and a departure from the consistent and emphatic biblical revelation of God being one...God is manifested as Father in creation and as the Father of the Son, in the Son for our redemption, and as the Holy Spirit in our regeneration."
