If the "Oneness" doctrine is correct, then why does Jesus refer to His Father in the book of Revelation?
26 He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations. 27 He will rule them with a rod of iron, shattering them like clay pots;as I also have received of my Father: 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Rev 2:26-29
3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you. 4 Nevertheless you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Rev 3:3-6
19 As many as I love, I reprove and chasten. Be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me. 21 He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
Rev 3:19-22
Revelation 14:1 as well. Please provide scriptural reference to back your reply.

Revelations is one of many books about the end of the world and the triumph of Christianity over the Roman Empire that were written during the first century. The very very early Church were actually a bunch of people who thought the world was going to end and Jesus was going to return in their life time. Jump ahead 2000 years, we are still here. Here is a scriptural reference to back up the "Oneness doctrine" "There is one truth. The wise know it goes by various names." From the Rg Veda, written over a 1000 years before the Revelations.

Oneness means one in purpose and actions, it does NOT mean one being. Jesus also prayed the disciples would also be one and anyone who believes on him. Obviously this cannot mean one being. God the Father, Jesus the Son, the Holy Ghost, and us are are individuals.

Hello = The Revelation was written AFTER Jesus was died. It was a dream, or a badly written series of visions.
