How do Leslie Weatherhead's views on the will of God compare to contemporary Baptist thought?

Weatherhead pointed out that the New Testament never refers to Jesus as God and neither did Jesus refer to himself in this way. Jesus called himself the Son of Man and the Word. To say that Jesus was the "only begotten son" of God would be an impossibility, as such information is not presently available
The King James Bible stated in John 10:25-30 *even to the end of the chapter, and I quote:
"25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one".*
"They being one indicates that Christ is God incarnate in the flesh"
Any and all teachers then or now, are only as good as the translation they use, if it is the Syrian text he does well . . . if it is the the Alexandrian (Egyptian text) it is . . . well you get the idea.
