Restoring Apostolic Doctrinal Truth
Calling the Modern Oneness Pentecostal Churches Back to the Teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles
The Present Kingdom is not calling the Church to novelty, rebellion, or denominational reform for its own sake. We are calling the modern Oneness Pentecostal churches back to the doctrine of Jesus Christ and His apostles — away from man-made commandments, inherited traditions, corrupted holiness systems, law-and-grace mixtures, and modern theological formulations that have displaced the original Apostolic witness.
Why This Restoration Is Necessary
The question is not what our movement has commonly taught. The question is what Jesus Christ and His apostles actually taught.
Modern Oneness Pentecostal churches have preserved essential truths concerning the name of Jesus Christ, baptism in Jesus' name, the infilling of the Holy Ghost, and the absolute Oneness of God. Yet preserving some truth does not give any church, minister, organization, or movement permission to protect inherited error.
Over time, doctrines and commandments of men can become accepted as though they were apostolic. Traditions can become untouchable. Old Covenant law can be mixed with New Covenant grace. Biblical holiness can be replaced with man-made rules. Sincere worship can be replaced with religious performance. Even the doctrine of the Oneness of God can be weakened by modern formulations that do not fully preserve the biblical witness of the Son, the Word, the Light, and the Image of God.
The Present Kingdom exists to examine these matters openly, carefully, and scripturally. Every doctrine must be brought back to the Bible. Every tradition must be tested. Every teaching must be measured by the doctrine of Christ and His apostles.
What did Jesus Christ and His apostles actually teach?
That question must govern every study, every doctrine, every tradition, and every conclusion on this platform.
Major Restoration Fronts
These are not the only doctrines under review. They represent some of the major areas where modern Oneness Pentecostal churches must return to Scripture, but every teaching, practice, tradition, and assumption must be tested by the doctrine of Jesus Christ and His apostles.
Apostolic Hermeneutics
The foundation for testing every doctrine by Scripture, context, covenant, audience, language, and the apostolic witness.
Doctrines and Commandments of Men
Exposing teachings that became accepted through tradition, authority, fear, culture, or denominational habit rather than Scripture.
Mixing Law and Grace
Testing doctrines and practices that import Old Covenant law into the New Covenant Church.
Tithing vs. Apostolic Giving
Rejecting compulsory monetary tithing while restoring Spirit-led, freewill, need-based, transparent Apostolic giving.
Women Preachers
Restoring apostolic order according to the teachings of Paul and the New Testament Church.
Biblical Holiness and Sanctification
Upholding true holiness while rejecting man-made rules stacked on top of biblical sanctification.
Sincerity of Heart
Calling the Church back to humility, mercy, sincerity, love, and worship from the heart rather than outward religion alone.
Apostolic Oneness vs. the Modern Variant
Revisiting the Oneness of God, the Son, the Word, the Light, and the Image of God apart from modern formulations that have weakened the apostolic witness.
Start With the Foundations
These studies and resources help establish the interpretive foundation for the restoration work of this site. The goal is not to replace Scripture, but to send every reader back to Scripture with a clearer understanding of the Apostles' doctrine.
