Greetings Brother Charles

I come from a church called the Church of God in Christ Jesus. We
originated from the Philippines, in the 1920's and were one of a few
protestant
groups that broke from the Roman Catholic Church. Most of our members
remain the the Philippines, but we have a small assembly here in a
Canadian city.

If you would like I would be more than happy to send you more detailed
info about our church doctrine. From what I understand, we have very
similar doctrine to the United Pentecostal Church.

We baptize individuals mature enough to understand their personal sin. We
don't hold the  doctrine of original sin. We believe God is only One,
though we don't have an official label, that is why I used the term
"Monarchian". Until I've heard of the Pentecostal Oneness movement, I
thought our church was the only one that held this doctrine. It's good to
hear that other Christians have understood this revelation.
