Deuterocanonical books not canonical; 66-book Protestant canon followed

Oneness Pentecostal churches follow the 66-book Protestant biblical canon and do not accept the deuterocanonical books as Scripture. This reflects Pentecostal commitment to the apostolic principle: only texts with clear apostolic authority are canonical.

The Oneness churches' emphasis on New Testament revelation through apostles leads to the exclusion of intertestamental writings lacking apostolic endorsement.
