Daily Service: Oneness/Jesus Movement

One of our guest speakers for the 2019 #UPCMicronesia General Conference is Reverend (Dr) Talmadge French.

During his message tonight he shared about his research that got him through his Masters degree and PhD dissertation was and examination of the growth oh the “Jesus” movement, also referred to as Oneness which characterizes most Apostolic and Pentecostal doctrines. I’ll update the research on his books and his foundation in later posts but he told us that when he first began this research in 1976 he found that there were approximately 8 million Jesus movement people and his latest research shows and in increase to 34 million including 3 million in China.

If you want to know more start with Acts 2:38.

Acts 2:37-41 (ESV) Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

5 Biblical Facts on the Godhead by Talmadge French Ph.D

Biblical Facts Concerning the Godhead:

These facts are excerpts from Talmadge French’s publication “The Oneness” printed by Voice & Vision Publications.

Biblical Fact #1: Jesus is the One God in His Totality. Jesus isn’t another, second person, or only part of the Godhead.

Biblical Fact #2: Jesus declared: “I and the Father are One.” Not two. Not separate. But One and the same–God in Flesh.

Biblical Fact #3: Jesus was God Himself made flesh–God as perfect man, with His own blood, redeeming lost humanity.

Biblical Fact #4: The Oneness of God–emphatically declared in the Old Testament–is reaffirmed in the New.

Biblical Fact #5: Jesus is the Great “I Am!” The One Lord God Jehovah of the Old Testament is revealed as Jesus in the New Testament.
