UCG, which denies the Trinity and believes in an “open” Godhead. They believe that Christians join into the “God Family.” They also deny that the Holy Spirit is a person, but claim the Spirit is a “force” which their church has the power to transfer by the laying on of hands.

Is this the "oneness" movement?

I wouldn’t say so exactly, as that would be a form of Modalism. The UCG believes that the Father and the Son are two separate divine entities (not “one” in substance), and deny that the Spirit is a person at all.
