This notion that one was never UPCI because they were never a card holder is stupid.
It really shows the worth of saints to Pastors.
Us and them card holders.
Welcome to the Good old boys club.

What does that have to do with the "worth of saints to Pastors?"
I attend a UPCI church, and when asked, I tell folks that I attend a UPC church, but if I'm asked what I AM, I say "Apostolic" or "Pentecostal."
I don't really get how that's insulting to anyone.... 
Coop, you seem to try to find an insult in everything that is said. You really, really need to find something else to focus on. Go outside and play with your kids or go fishing or something.
