Conclusions
It is safe to say that the Modern Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal Church is the new face of the “called out ones” (the church) that Jesus Christ started through His apostles and disciples. Because of political agendas, the man-made Catholic Church, formed by the Ecumenical councils, was established in 325 AD, which, interestingly, coincided with the start of the dark ages in mankind’s history. The murder of many “enemies of the church” such as those who wouldn't accept the pope as their spiritual leader have stained the term 'Christian' because of these many atrocities that were not, and are not the teachings of Jesus Christ, but rather teachings of sinful and fallen mankind. Soon after the Bible was made available to the public through the first printing press, a reformation began as more truth was sought for and learned. However, the man-made political doctrine of the trinity and the changing of the baptismal formula were kept by denominations such as the Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, etc. that were started during the Protestant reformation (with the exception of a part of the Anabaptists, who believed and taught the Apostles' doctrine and were hated and killed for it).
Test the Truth Below
How do we test the Truth of a church's teaching? There are four questions that we can ask which will help us determine if something is true or not:
1. Does it glorify Jesus Christ? (The Truth will always make Jesus Christ greater to the seeker of Truth.)
2. Does it make us more like the early church in the Book of Acts? (Jude 3 says, "Earnestly contend for the faith that which was once delivered unto the saints."
3. Does all Scripture harmonize on the subject? (We have not proven any subject until we have harmonized all passages of Scripture relating to it.
4. Does it tend to make us live holy lives? (The Truth of God will promote holiness and purity in those who heed it.) (70. Pentecostal Bible Study Course, Lesson 2, pg. 13 )
