From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oneness Pentecostalism (also known as Apostolic or Jesus' Name Pentecostalism) refers to a grouping of denominations and believers within Pentecostal Christianity, all of whom subscribe to the nontrinitarian theological doctrine of Oneness. This movement first emerged in America around 1914 as the result of doctrinal disputes within the nascent Pentecostal movement and claims an estimated 24 million adherents today.
To put the record straight, including classical Pentecostals, Neo Pentecostals and Charismatic people, the total is in the region of 600 million. This does not mean to say that all practice truth. There are in all denominations problem people. So the figure can best be described as loose.
The latest figure announced in our local Pentecostal church which is a member of the PAOC is 800 million.
The UPCI in the United States and Canada grew to 4,400 churches (including daughter works and preaching points) and 9,234 ministers in 2012. In the same year it reported works in 203 nations outside the U.S. and Canada with 36,804 churches and preaching points, 22,129 licensed ministers, 853 missionaries, and a constituency of 2.4 million. The international fellowship consists of national organizations that are united as the Global Council of the UPCI, which is chaired by the general superintendent of the UPCI. Total constituency is estimated at 3 million
It is estimated that one forth of the total number of Christians, or about 500 million are Pentecostals.
