Oneness Pentecostalism and baptism: standing firm on Trinitarian faith with grace

Mike identifies Oneness teaching as a denial of what Scripture says about God's nature and therefore historically non-Christian (not merely a secondary disagreement). Being baptized in the Oneness formula would be a public declaration of embracing their theology. He counsels Reagen to refuse in good conscience — frame it not as teenage rebellion but as faithfulness to God, the one authority above family. He warns Reagen to maintain an attitude so gracious that the only available objection is the theological content itself, not his/her attitude. Recommends The Forgotten Trinity by James White as a resource for Reagen (not expecting parents to read it).
