Talk:Jesus-Only doctrine
Jesus-Only is considered derogatory term by those of us that consider themselves Jesus-Name or Oneness believers. This whole article should be rewritten or redirected to Oneness Theology with "Jesus-Only" listed as a phrase only used by non-believers. -LuckyDay 12:16am 04 21 2005

I can't but say that this appears to be extremely POV stuff. I know nothing whatsoever about the issues discussed on the page, but still that is the impression I get. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 07:37 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I agree (I'd at least put 'purported' in front of 'heresy', but it needs more than that). - Hephaestos 07:39 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

It seems ok now. FearÉIREANN 08:29 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- I concur. It is fine. (for the time being) -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 08:34 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)
The position does lack foundational and historical support. Besides that, the POV of the issue was started in modern times from a particular event. In essence one person McAleister had a theory and that theory he turned into a doctrine that requires salvation. That should be noted. Anytime a theory becomes doctrine for salvation, it is either a doctrinal revision, heresy, or a new revelation
I believe that the statement "it is important to note....not in the Bible" is a biased statement, because it is essentially putting only one side of the argument. Essentially you are putting a very-much-simplified argument in favour of anti-trinitarianism. To maintain neutraility either we have to put in the counter-argument (that the words may not be there, but the concepts very much are) or, since this isn't the place for a theological discussion, we should remove the statement. Anyone who disagrees with this please say why here. DJ Clayworth 16:16, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I would also suggest that we move this article to Jesus-Name doctrine, if that is what the Oneness movement calls it. We shouldn't generally use an article title that is viewed as an insult by those who hold the belief. DJ Clayworth 16:22, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
When I was a child, I was told by a "Jesus Only" minister that there is a clear difference between "Jesus Only" and "Oneness". He said that "Jesus Only" believes that Jesus was just a man until he was baptised. Maybe this is the reason that the oneness do not like the statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.179.91.27 (talk) 12:11, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
