From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oneness Pentecostalism (also known as Apostolic or Jesus' Name Pentecostalism) refers to a grouping of denominations and believers within Pentecostal Christianity, all of whom subscribe to the nontrinitarian theological doctrine of Oneness. This movement first emerged in America around 1914 as the result of doctrinal disputes within the nascent Pentecostal movement and claims an estimated 24 million adherents today.
The same as the oneness Pentecostals
Apostolic generally refers to churches that adhere to the teachings of the original apostles of Jesus Christ. Pentecostal churches are characterized by an emphasis on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as speaking in tongues and divine healing. While some apostolic churches may be Pentecostal, not all Pentecostal churches are apostolic in their beliefs and practices.
Oneness Pentecostals deny the Trinity, believing that whenever the Bible says "Son", it doesn't mean Son, it means "Father with a coat on." Also, they believe that no one is saved unless they speak in tongues (ecstatic speech).
Pentecostals believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Most Pentecostals believe that Jesus is God. The United Pentecostal believes in oneness, that Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God are all one and the same. The rest believe that there are three in one....God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and these three are one.

The worldwide population of Pentecostals is between 279 and 280 million. There are over 700 denominations that have resulted from the Pentecostal Movement.

God the Father for the purpose of creation, God the Son for the purpose of salvation and the Spirit for the purpose of being our Comforter. there are many denominations which teach this but the only ones i know of are all aposolic pentecostals. they have also been called Jesus only

Yes, definitely. There may be some that don't but most do. But many Pentecostals do not believe in listening to any music that isn't about God, so they don't listen to country or rock or rap or anything like that. Again, not all Pentecostals believe that way, but many do.
