Does the UPC believe in forgiveness, grace, and mercy?

If he has, then lets move forward in Jesus' name, and wish the brother well. Plain and simple.
But if he has not, then God-fearing saints should simply not be supporting his ministry.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I wonder what John the Baptist meant by "Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance"?
