- Randy Philips' church has the Apostles creed for their statement of beliefs: http://www.lifeaustin.com/la/default...at-we-believe/
- Shawn Craig's church has this to say:"We believe in one God revealed as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." http://www.thecrosspoint.com/images/...OF%20FAITH.pdf
- Dan Dean's church has this to say: "About God: We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy." http://www.theheartlandchurch.com/whatwebelieve
None of those seem to me to be promoting Oneness Pentecostalism.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

They have responded to the claims that they are Oneness Pentecostals and they specifically deny that and affirm that they are Trinitarians:
Fax from Phillips. Craig and Dean on the issue http://ernchez.tripod.com/home/pcdletter.htm
Now they may be playing around with word games (this AOMin page suggests that they do play word games on the issue: http://vintage.aomin.org/PCD.html )

All 3 hold ministers credentials with the United Pentecostal Church International
http://www.upci.org/resources/instru...on-the-godhead
1. Is the word trinity in the Bible? No.
2. Does the Bible say that there are three persons in the Godhead? No.
4. Do these titles as used in Matthew 28:19 mean that there are three separate and distinct persons in the Godhead? No, they refer to three offices, roles, or relationship to humanity.
20. Whom do some designate as the first person in the trinity? God the Father.
21. Whom do some designate as the last person in the trinity? The Holy Ghost. But Jesus said that He was the first and last. Revelation 1:17-18
55. Does the Bible call the Holy Ghost a second or third person in the Godhead? No. The Holy Ghost is the one Spirit of God, the one God Himself at work in our lives. John 4:24; I Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19; 12:13.
56. Can Trinitarians show that three divine persons were present when Jesus was baptized by John? Absolutely not. The one, omnipresent God used three simultaneous manifestations. Only one divine person was present--Jesus Christ the Lord.
*Taken from the Word Aflame Tract "60 Questions on the Godhead with Bible answers" #6125"
These beliefs are to be adhered to for all persons holding ministers' credentials, which all 3 do. They, like other oneness advocates, claim a functional "trinity" but not an ontological one. The fax never states anything about them confirming belief in the trinity as described by the Athanasian Creed. They play the same word games that the UPCI plays in their "60 questions" page.That's what
