This section is on
what the United Pentecostal Church International teach concerning the nature
of God and Salvation. The UPCI is also known as Oneness Pentecostals,
and the Jesus Only Movement. Our intention is to shed light on why
Oneness Pentecostals are not of the Christian faith but have been deceived
with another Jesus and another gospel.
Many people do not know who Oneness Pentecostals
are or what they believe. Oneness Pentecostals are of the United
Pentecostal Church International, and they have many un-Biblical doctrines
and teachings contrary to the Christian faith. What are the main
doctrines of the UPCI that are un-Biblical? The UPCI rejects the
doctrine of the Trinity; 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." (http://www.upci.org/about)
