The Jesus Name Controversy
was “the one name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost”:
The blessed Lord showed me then and there, that
“The Lord Jesus Christ” is the ONE PROPER NAME of
God for this gospel dispensation; because in Him,
Jesus Christ, Our Lord, all the fullness of the Godhead
dwelt; and to Him, all power in heaven and
earth, was given; that repentance and remission of
sins should be preached everywhere in Jesus’ Name
ONLY. [See Colossians 2:9; Matthew 28:18; Luke
24:47.]
He called this new understanding “a wonderful revelation
of the Triunity in Christ” and “a blessed revelation
of Christ’s absolute deity.” He did not mean an extrabiblical
revelation, however, but as he explained when he first
received the Holy Ghost, “The scriptures were illuminated
to my soul as never before, by the Blessed Holy Spirit,
who faithfully brought to my remembrance, with new
meaning, that which I had read years ago and made it
fresh as the morning dew.” As a result of his study, in
1910 Urshan printed Acts 2:38 on the side of his baptismal
tank and began to baptize all new converts “into
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” 65
The Worldwide Camp Meeting,
Arroyo Seco, 1913
These early examples of baptism in Jesus’ name did
not lead to the formation of the Oneness movement, however.
The events that ultimately resulted in controversy
and division began with the Worldwide Apostolic Faith
Camp Meeting organized by R. J. Scott and George Studd
