View Full Version : Ministers that leave the UPCI
Disciple4life
10-17-2013, 08:28 AM
Isn’t strange that after ministers leave the UPCI they keep a low profile. They may still pastor a church, but it is very hard to find out information on them or their current beliefs. Pastors that leave the UPCI usually do not write a book on their new beliefs. If they do it is sold out or out of print very quickly. The same goes for websites.
I am not saying there is a Pentecostal Mafia, BUT it sure does seem suspicious.
So who am I talking about? Robert Sabin is one. I am sure there are many more.
The Pentecostal Publishing House and Word Aflame Press has given the UPCI a megaphone to drown out anybody who disagrees with them.
I have no beef with the UPCI and I am not talking ill of them either. It just seems that more Pentecostal publishers would be a good thing.
BUT it is suspicious. :nod

I'm not so sure there's a "conspiracy". But I do think your statement bears some merit. Sabin, Yadon, Wasmundt, (just a few who have authored books who are pretty much off the radar) and the list goes on and on...

I am always on the look out for new books.
Do you have any titles of books by Yadon, Wasmendt ect...? Or where to find them?
No, No, Conspiracy is such an ugly word. I just seems curious. :nah

The PPH is the publishing arm of the UPCI. Sorry for the confusion.
If the ALJC has a website that sells their books I sure can't find it. I have searched many times.
OOPPSS? I found it, my bad.

I will add that it's fairly difficult to get your hands on any recordings of these men as well as those of more recent men who have left the org. I personally know of a man who served on staff at one of the larger churches in the upci. He left his position with high regard. The church no longer offers any of his messages preached in the 10+ years he served. Just an observation.

Yadon wrote what used to be one of the foremost used discipleship books. "From An Acorn To An Oak". There's one available on eBay for $100. He also wrote an excellent book on Joseph. As well as a few more titles.

I read Christianity Without the Cross, that is why I even know any of these ministers.
I bought a book by Kenneth Reeves at
http://www.thelastcommissionministries.com/#!books
I bought a book by Ralph Reynolds off of Amazon. He also has a website here
http://www.alphabiblepublications.com/index.htm
I noticed that he has The Alpha Bible Course for sale on this site. The PPH offers the same coarse. I wonder if the PPH version is "cleaned up"?

It's not only liberals, when Crawford Coon got out of the UPCI to lead the WPF, the PPH pulled all of his material.

So some guy you like left the org and no longer has a platform to sell books etc, and all the suddent Word Aflame and the UPCI are bullies that beat down poor preacherwholeftman? What? By their very existance?
I suppose the UPCI needs to just SHUT UP? or better yet, turn the publishing house over to those who left?

I agree.
The PPL has the RIGHT to sell or not sell whatever they please.
While they refused to sell Crawford Coon's material, they chose to sell T.D. Jake's material.
Like it or not, it's THEIR right.

I went to a ALJC church and our Sunday school material came from (A Worldaflame Press) with I believe is a UPCI company..That was so funny to cause when we left our church I talked to the preacher and mentioned he be petecost and he said he was not, I scratched my head not understanding that statement seeing as where we got our reading material from and the sign outside said (Pentecostal church) I think the ALJC is just not big enough to have a publising company thats why they use the above mentioned....

im good with you not shutting up.
but when you say something that is just so clearly not so.... well... err... uhm....
there you go.
People who have left the UPCI have certainly NOT shut up. or been pounced on by the UPCI Mafia.
Ever hear of Tommy Tenny and his goD splitting pulpit? dude even made a movie after he left the UPCI.

I appologize for amping up the temp in the room!
Tommy Tenny wrote God Chasers after leaving the UPCI. You should check into the book. You will find he did quite well with that. He wrote at least one more book, then made a movie about Esther. It wasnt bad. Im not saying Oscar calaber but I didnt wish I could get those minutes of my life back.
Scott Jones left the UPCI and has started a new organization that includes OPs and non-OPs. As a general rule you can call them pentecostals who believe you are saved when you repent and are pretty mainstream orthodox christian.
Its a pretty big group. If they dont have a publishing house, I suspect they have access on some level.
I suspect the guys that left that have stopped being in the spotlight have gone quiet because they chose to.

Sabin was never High Profile except in UPCI circles. The only time anyone heard of him outside of the UPC is when they watched the Ancherberg Show. He was not a prolific author before leaving.
Sabin belongs to no group. The UPCI has nothing to do with whether or not he publishes anything nor does the PPH

No I get that. I totally understand the money thing.
My argument is starting to fall apart. But, Kenneth Reeves and Ralph Reynolds both published books outside of PPH. That did not agree with UPCI on certain things. To my knowledge there was not a fuss about it from the UPCI. I dunnow!
Wasn't there a guy who had a church in Nashville who left like in 1985 or something. Why didn't he write a book?

There is nothing preventing Sabin from self publishing and selling on line through his own website or on other venders
BTW there's no conspiracy. It's pretty obvious they don't sell Sabin's stuff because he left.
The UPC is too small to exert control over someone not writing a book. As I said ANYONE can write and publish their own book if they want. You can do it online now adays
How is the UPC supposed to prevent someone from writing a book? That makes no sense. Do they collaborate with the CIA and use the Mind Ray to subvert the thoughts of these former UPCers?

As someone else mentioned I think you are probably referring to Pastor L.H. Hardwick who was Sr. Pastor of Christ Church Nashville for over 50 years until he retired a few years ago.
I attended Christ Church for about nine or ten years and don't think Pastor Hardwick felt his calling was to be an author. His calling was to be a pastor and he was a fabulous one!
He started pastoring CC when he was 18 or 19 years old and held a full time job and did fundraisers like church folks selling donuts on the weekends to make ends meet. He left the UPC in 1989 I believe. Christ Church grew from a small group of people to around 4,000 at the time of his retirement.
While he did not write a book he was asked to present a paper at Oxford University in England that there used to be a print copy of on the church website. Don't know if it is still there.
Even though the book is several decades old now I recommend David Wasmundt's book Neo Phariseeism that was brought up in this thread. Particularly for those who have been raised with a very legalistic mindset and would like to see a different view from what they have heard preached and taught in old time Pentecost for the most part.
Here is a link to the author's webiste and book order page;

The hair of bondage fell to the floor. The wife jumped off of the altar and began to yell "I'm free! I'm free!" She even spoke in tongues.
People walked up to the front of the church. They passed the scissors around, one by one. There were too many women wanting this freedom so they got all the scissors from the Sunday school dept.
Is it wrong that Im imagining what a pain it is to try and cut hair with safety scissors?

Lol. Why did you dig this up? It’s my telling of a fabricated story spread about a hair cutting party that never took place at a church pastored by a former poster.

Even though the book is several decades old now I recommend David Wasmundt's book Neo Phariseeism that was brought up in this thread. Particularly for those who have been raised with a very legalistic mindset and would like to see a different view from what they have heard preached and taught in old time Pentecost for the most part.
Here is a link to the author's webiste and book order page;

Yadon wrote what used to be one of the foremost used discipleship books. "From An Acorn To An Oak". There's one available on eBay for $100. He also wrote an excellent book on Joseph. As well as a few more titles.
Here is the front and back of my original copy of Brother Yadon's book.

I had a conversation with him many years ago in his office (it was just to the left of the lobby entrance of the old POA church) which I still remember today. I asked him about the "mark of the beast."
He said it would never happen because the mafia would lose too much money.
