Last year was the fiftieth anniversery of the UPC and came about as a
result of a merger between the Pentecostal Church Incorporated, and the
Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ, which were described in the
booklet _Meet the United Pentecostal Church_ as the two largest Oneness
Pentecostal bodies.

The Assemblies of God predates the UPC and, in fact, various Oneness
groups came about as a split from the AofG.
