But this is not so. The doctrine of the Trinity is that there is one God in three persons. Another way of looking at it is that God revealed himself as Father in the Old Testament, as the Son in Jesus during Christ s ministry on earth, and now as the Holy Spirit after Christ s ascension. If you are not baptized you cannot be saved. Oneness churches also teach that speaking in tongues is a necessary manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
Oneness groups are decidedly Arminian in the doctrine of salvation.
They deny predestination and maintain that it is completely up to the individual to decide whether or not he wants to be saved. They also teach that it is possible to lose one's salvation. There is within the Oneness movement an attempt to represent themselves in a modest and holy manner. This is to be commended. However, sometimes it tends to become legalistic in that women are required to abstain from wearing makeup and pants.
