Well, for me it was very refreshing to me to hear/read LCS say the things she said. Evidently, she does not cower to social pressures of "fitting in" and speaks from her heart. I agree with her, some people would be surprised at who they see next to them in heaven...
I appreciate the UCs that believe as they do and do as they do simply because they do it unto the LORD and do not judge and condemn others that dont see it or do things the way they do... I would step up to bat and duke it out and defend all UCs and their standards if they collectively did not condemn and send to hell those that did not meet their standards...I respect anyone that does something because they want to do it unto the LORD. But I get stoked when some UCs (and sometimes I wonder if these UCs that get me stoked are the loud and boisterous minority among their group...maybe it would do me well to put on my
and think better of the majority of that group )...anyway, as I was saying, I get stoked when they begin to condemn folks to hell because they dont meet a certain standard. But it is hard not to put them all in one box when you see them writing and parading songs like "I'm a Pentecostal" by CLC.
Again, I sometimes wonder if there is a silent majority that does not think like this boisterous minority, but what puzzles me is why they remain silent when they are in the majority. I guess right now it would do me well to heed the quote at the bottom of all my posts:
"A common fallacy is the idea that the majority sets the pattern and the trends of social, economic, and religious life. History reveals quite the opposite: the majority copies or imitates the minority and this establishes the long-run developments and socio-economic evolutions."
