Historically speaking, “creeds” and “Oneness Pentecostal” have not gone hand-in-hand. We have typically eschewed creeds, viewing them quite negatively. The reason for this is two-fold. First, creedal statements have often been invested with an authority equal to that of Scripture, and we do not believe anything is equal in authority to the revealed Word of God. Secondly, and more importantly, we have objected to the Trinitarianism that is either the backdrop of, or subject of the creeds.
Not only have we rejected the ancient creeds in particular, but we have rejected the notion of “creed” in general. This is most unfortunate. Not only are creeds useful as brief summations of the Christian faith, but they are Biblical as well. We find several apparent creeds and creedal affirmations in the Bible:
