Just a short bibliography of your sources would do just as nicely. :-) If
it's from actual eyewitnesses (kind of a pentecostal "oral tradition")
that's even better! Anyways, I really do appreciate your input! I have often
wondered about the history behind the UPCI's spirit baptism theology. (Reed
and others mostly focus on the origins of the monarchianism and baptismal
formula.) Haywood's understanding of spirit baptism seems to have popped up
out of nowhere. I wonder if it was taught even earlier among some
trinitarian pentecostals or if it was  exclusively his "revelation"?

p.s. Vinson Synan, Dean of Regent Univ., has a pretty good overview of early
pentecostal history on the web. Check out his "origins of Pentecostal
Movement" link at his homepage:
http://www.regent.edu/acad/schdiv/syn-web.html.

He doesn't have anything on the oneness movement, unfortunately, but does
have some other interesting pentecostal-related links.
