History
The group was founded in 1995 in Tampa, Florida by Oneness historian Dr. Gary Reckart, Sr., being formed from the various Oneness Pentecostal organizations. In its present form, the movement is considered a merging of Oneness Pentecostalism and what the group considers the ancient Messianic beliefs of the followers of Jesus. It stresses the Jewishness of the New Testament Church into which Gentiles are grafted (Romans 11:17). The movement now has over 8,000 adherents worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
