(20)United Pentecostal Church

 The beginning of the United Pentecostal Church, 
as another human institution, goes back to 1914. 
The Foreword of the UPC Manual states, "In the year 1914 
came the revelation on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ". 

 Here they invented the false doctrine of "Jesus only" or 
"Oneness holiness", in which they say that Jesus is the 
only member of the Godhead. They say there is no God 
the Father and no Holy Spirit, but only Jesus.

The four prominent denominations that believe in 
the oneness position are: United Pentecostal Church, 
Apostolic Church, Church of the Firstborn, and 
Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ. The UPC Manual 
(page 41) promises a penalty to the one "who speaks 
or writes in opposition to any Articles of Faith", 
that are contained in the UPC Manual. 

 In order to be saved the United Pentecostal Church, and 
the other three prominent "Jesus only" denominations mentioned above, teach that people are to be "baptized" both in 
water in the name of "Jesus only" and 
baptized in the Holy Spirit. 

One’s salvation is complete only after he has received 
the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of 
speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. 
They also claim sensational instant miraculous divine healing.

Salvation
According to United Pentecostal Church belief, salvation requiresrepentance from sin, water baptism in the name of 
Jesus for the remission of sins, andbaptism in 
the Holy Ghost, then living a godly life. 
Tongues -  
“Speaking in tongues means speaking miraculously in a language unknownto the speaker." Initial speaking in tongues indicates baptism in the Holy Spirit.Subsequent speaking in tongues in church meetings is a public message which must beinterpreted. 
 Sacraments
The United Pentecostal Church requires water baptism as 
a condition forsalvation, and the formula is "... 
in the name of Jesus," not in the name of the 
Father,Son, and Holy 
SpiritWorship Service
UPCI services are spirit-filled and lively, with members shouting,singing, raising their hands in praise, clapping, dancing, testifying, and speaking intongues. Instrumental music also plays a key role... People are also anointed with oil fordivine healing. 
Divine Healing
The UPCI believes the healing ministry of 
Christ continues on earth to day.
