Lesson Seven
The Oneness Truth

Water Baptism In Jesus Name Preached:
•	In 1913 there was a camp meeting held in Los Angeles, which became very important in Pentecostal history. 
•	In this camp meeting there were 364 who were baptized with the Holy Ghost. 
•	However, this was not the most important thing, which took place in this Camp Meeting.
•	At a water baptismal service Evangelist R. E. McAlister from eastern Canad asked was to preach. 
•	In his message he stated that the titles, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, were never used during the first century, and that the Apostles used the name of Jesus Christ.
•	This message was like a great explosion being heard. 
•	One man ran to the platform and requested that this doctrine would not be preached. 
•	Brother McAlister made an attempt to quiet the consternation, but the truth had been spoken and left its mark.
•	Among those who heard the statement of truth were Frank J. Ewart and G. T. Haywood. 
•	These men became leaders in the Oneness Movement.
•	In this same camp meeting John Scheppe, after a night in prayer, received a revelation of the power of the name of Jesus. 
•	Early in the morning he ran through the camp and shouting proclaiming what the Lord had shown him. This left a deep impression upon all.

The Truth Revealed:
•	After the Camp meeting Frank Ewart, R. E. McAlister, and Glenn A. Cook opened a revival on Main Street. 
•	This permitted them to have many discussions on doctrine.
•	Later they preached for another pastor in Los Angeles.
•	 A great revival broke out and continued for many months. 
•	Also ministering in this revival was G. T. Haywood of Indianapolis.
•	Brother Ewart noticed that whenever he exalted the Name of Jesus the Holy Spirit would bless and the power of God would be manifested.
•	In 1914 he felt that he had received the revelation of the Oneness truth and was ready to step out with the message. 
•	He was the editor of a paper, "Meat in Due Season" which helped to promote the Oneness Truth.

The Truth Is Established:
•	Brother Ewart pitched a tent in Belvedere near Los Angeles on East First Street.
•	 On April 15, 1914, he preached his first sermon on Acts 2:38. 
•	That started a revival and began crowds coming to the tent.
•	Brother Glenn Cook joined Brother Ewart in this tent revival. 
•	They set up a tank in the tent and baptized each other in the Name of Jesus
•	In this revival many that were baptized in Jesus Name were baptized with the Holy Ghost in the water. 
•	There were many healings and some of them were healed in the water.
•	From Los Angeles this truth spread like fire across the nation. 
•	The city of Indianapolis became a strong center for the Apostolic truth.
•	G. T. Haywood accepted the truth and was baptized in the Name of Jesus. 
•	Many of his people, 465 in number, followed him and were baptized in Jesus Name.

 Opposition To The Truth:
•	As could be expected great opposition arose against the Oneness Revelation. 
•	This new revelation was called the "New Issue."
•	H. A. Goss called a local conference in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1915, to warn young ministers against this teaching. 
•	E. N. Bell called another conference at Little Rock to warn preachers against the message. 
•	He attacked the message in his paper the "Word and Witness."

The Truth Of Jesus Name Baptism Is Victorious:
•	In 1915 there was a camp meeting at Jackson, Tennessee. 
•	The Evangelist was a Oneness preacher, L.V. Roberts, whom Glenn Cook had baptized. 
•	His first sermon was taken from Acts 2:38 and both E. N. Bell and the host pastor, H. G. Rogers, requested water baptism in Jesus Name. 
•	This was the beginning of a tremendous revival and it was estimated that the crowds reached 4,000 in attendance.
•	During the same summer there was a camp meeting at Little Rock. 
•	The Evangelist was L. C. Hall who had recently been baptized in Jesus Name. 
•	The minister who did the baptizing was E. N. Bell and one of the most prominent preachers to be baptized was Howard A. Goss.

The Truth Established In Canada:
•	The Oneness Truth soon came to Canada. 
•	Franklin Small accepted the truth in Winnipeg. 
•	In eastern Ontario Brother Clarence Cross and Howard Goss helped to establish the Jesus Name message.
•	At the first baptismal service at Outlet Camp Meeting when the Name of Jesus was used, there was a great move of the Holy Spirit. 
•	Many of the Pentecostal saints witnessed this move of the Holy Spirit and immediately presented themselves for baptism.
