Jesus Only Movement
The Jesus Only Movement is a Christian belief system that emphasizes the oneness of God, asserting that Jesus Christ is the sole manifestation of the divine. This movement emerged in the early 20th century, particularly within the Pentecostal and Apostolic traditions, and is often associated with the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine. Followers reject the traditional Christian concept of the Trinity, believing instead that God is one and that Jesus is the full revelation of that one God.
Adherents of the Jesus Only Movement typically practice baptism in the name of Jesus Christ rather than using the Trinitarian formula of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They emphasize personal experiences of faith, often characterized by spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues. The movement has led to the formation of various denominations and congregations that share these beliefs, contributing to the diversity within the broader Christian community.
