I know a lady who attends a UPC church and refuses to abide by their standards and grips to everyone about them, I always wonder why she still goes. If you don't agree go somewhere else, it is your choice.

I know you didn't direct anything at me and I take no offense.
However, I'm not part of their organization. I attend a UPC church, mainly because there isn't any other option, unless I want to be Catholic or Lutheran.
I do not abide by the UPC standards, however, I don't cause trouble over it. I wear skirts to church and make sure my earrings are out. My daughter wears skirts to church as well.
I don't agree with the UPC standards, but why should I go elsewhere just because I don't agree?
Do you agree with everything your husband says? Since I'm sure you don't (because I know how husbands are, and I plan on asking God why He made us from a rib but that action caused the deletion of a few brain cells), do you think you should leave and find another? Vice versa?
Of course not. I agree with the Bible and how I interpret it. I can be (and have been) corrected, but if someone tells me what they think the Bible says and I don't agree, why should I be told to part ways?
Paul and Peter didn't agree either, yet neither of them considered the other to be unsaved, even if they thought one another was in error in their teachings.
