If you believe in "Oneness" versus "Trinity" then why is it, that you SEEM to focus only on the "Holy Ghost" part?
I'm asking ONLY for clarity, I want to learn, and this is something I REALLY want to know about.
So, please explain in full detail...but from your heart, don't copy and paste anything please.

It is because the Holy Ghost is really overlooked by the people and by other denominations. It is easy to focus on Jesus and God, but not the Holy Spirit, for the Bible says that he does not speak of Himself. The Holy Ghost is in Unity with God and Jesus, but He is given to us as a free gift when we turn from our sins and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The Holy Ghost is God. He manifests His presence in all who receive Him. It is the Holy Ghost who Jesus has sent to us. His purpose is to comfort us, teach us, convict us, and lead us. We need to know the Holy Spirit personally because it is the Holy Spirit that makes us one with God. Without the Holy Spirit, all one has is knowledge and no eternal life. It is the Holy Spirit that makes it possible for us to have a personal relationship with God as our Father through the shed blood of Jesus.
Sincerely Yours, Pastor Jeff Ludin

The Holy Ghost, or, Spirit has been given to true Christians to help them live out the life they should live better for the Lord anyway, who Himself is part of the Trinity. Look, there is oneness and there is a triune value to the Godhead, or the Divine, if ya will. There are some factions of believers in God who will focus on part rather than the whole maybe because they don't themselves eat balanced diets or such, who knows? The Holy Spirit isn't any more a part of this relationship between the three entities than any other part. If you're asking to define or explain the interrelationship involved, who can do that, and even for eternity it may be a mystery still regarding the interrrelationship between the divine entities. I don't believe that this Charismatic faction is a cult, but they can be sincerely wrong at times. If you were to ask God, he would say that His Spirit has been sent to earth to help believers live their lives more fully and to convict the world of sin whilst it is still time to do so before that great and terrible day of the Lord when our destiny may be in the balance to a greater degree than it is at this time as we see the day approaching that our Lord Jesus shall return, so let us be ready as He will return quickly in His glory and power and might!

pentecostal r a group of christian who believe we need to embrace the empowerment of the Holy Spirit as in the days of the Act of the apostles when pentecost fell on them. before the promise of the H.s, the disciples were living in fear of the jews, but after pentecost they were anointed boldly to preach about J.C pentecostal believe we need have real thing like what the early christian have.

If you want to learn then run from groups that call themselves something other than Christians. Paul warned against this "Some of you say you are of Apolos, some of Cepheus, I thank God that I baptised none of you" BEWARE sister.......
