According to Curtis Edwards, Pagan Pentecostalism: Its Roots: Sex, Sin & Slavery, Voodoo was the religion of African slaves. And even before slavery they would voodoo any religion they took part in. They had voodoo Catholicism in their homeland for the main part.
Then after coming to Haitian and American shores, they voodooed whatever religion they encountered. Voodoo Methodism and voodoo Baptist churches, were common in Louisiana.
Wm. Seymour tried to voodoo the Church of God (Anderson In.) but got expelled. Shortly thereafter, he voodooed his Wesley Methodism at Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles. He thought voodoo tongues were the same as Bible tongues. This became the Assemblies of God denomination with the Oneness United Pentecostal Church splitting off from them over their antitrinitarian views.

Edwards, Curtis. Pagan Pentecostalism: Its Roots: Sex, Sin & Slavery .
The Oneness branch of Pentecostalism is known for its Modal Monarchianism. It states: God is not a Trinity of three persons and one essence, but of one essence and person manifested in three different modes.... Modal Monarchianism is also called Sabellianism.

It means God is one person that changes into the roles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Many of the early Church condemned it as heresy. It has nothing to do with trinitarian churches that baptize in Jesus' name following the Apostle's method. Scripture does not mention any other method than this.
