Do "other people" worship with your church?
 

I was just wondering if people from other cultural backgrounds worship with your church congregation. If so, how do you accomplish this? If not, why?

well if your talking about cultural like black white, hispanic yes, but if your talking about outside the denomination. I.E. baptist fellowshipping with the upci, then that would be a No, as the upci believes all outside the apostolic realm who has not followed acts 2:38 with the edition of speaking in tounges to be carnal minded sinners.

so thier not even acknowledged as brothers and sisters in christ. (sorta sad really)

VERY sad!

Yes I agree it is sad... But that's the nature of denominationalism.

what other cultural background? Other than what lol?

Anyways, we accomplish having a multicultural church simply by reaching out to anyone

We have had services with PAW, AA as well as we've had a youth group from a Episcopal church (I think) visit us as well as visitors from other kinds of churches

Your assessment of UPCI is faulty. I don't believe anyone that did not follow Acts 2:38 is a carnal minded sinner. Im sure David Bernard would not make such a generalizing assessment either.

I've been in services where it was a multi-denominational meeting with a UPCI and a black baptist and some non-denom spanish congregation. Recently many of us went to a concert featuring Tramain Hawkins at a black baptist church and we worshiped with them

When Tramaine sang, did you experience the power of the Holy Ghost through her music, or was she just a "gifted" person that was without truth?

Re: Do "other people" worship with your church?
 

The Holy Ghost was there because people were worshipping and had faith. She was gifted though

I would not call her someone "without truth". Everyone has truth, they may be in error on certain issues but most Christians have truth

Why not reverse this? I know of many Trinitarians that would NEVER EVER fellowship a Oneness person.

Okay thanks for your input.
