Me and my family have visted many different denominations . Baptist , Pentecostal , Non-denominational , Methodist , Lutheran , etc... and we have found that when He manifests His presence it always feels the same no matter what traditions a particular relious group holds .
You want get a upc/apostolic member to go to a baptist chuch and say that although I agree with ya.. same spirit he is in the other churches just like the upc/apostolic..LOL

I am an apostolic and I have attended Baptist churches, Nazarene churches and felt the presence of God. God is God no matter where you are. If two are three gather in His name, He is there in their midst.
So I guess you are wrong about UPC/Apostolic church members.

Well all the talk I hear about the baptist churches being dead as I hear apostolics and pentecostals say I have heard numerous members of my church say this. How can a church be dead and gods spirit be there...Might be painting with a broad brush here but that is one of the flaws I see in the UPC/APOSTOLIC church talking about another church my pastor even talked about other UPC churches in our area. To me that would not set a good example to someone just coming into the UPC or trying the church out..
God has only one Spirit. We know Him as the Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, Spirit of Jesus or Jesus in our heart.
God's Spirit is active in drawing people to Him, enlightening them, changing them, encouraging them, etc. He is not only active in OP churches but every where around us, in and out of church buildings. It's just like radio or tv waves. They are everywhere around us. We just have to tune in to them.
It is awesome , even at home , we have family devotions and His Spirit gives us liberty to connect to Him and one another . Truly as the scripture says " Now the Lord is that Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty . " Truly His Spirit is everywhere so we have the God ordained right to entertain Him where ever we are. Me and my wife believe strongly that it is part of our obligation as interdenominational believers to set a tone of worship whereever we are led to attend and have found that it always makes a difference in the atmosphere of any local assembly when we go to be a blessing especially to our Daddy .
This brings out a startling real truth....that being, if God is "in" you He is everywhere you go. If you can't feel Him but in one particular place/church you probably need to pray through.
I have been to churches that are so cold and the devil has gotten such a foothold in the congregation that it restricts the moving of God, but it always can be traced to the members there and the sin in their lives and their rebellion/resistance to letting God have His way in the church.
God will not force His blessings on you, your church, country or anybody. Nor will He continue to bless a rebellious, disobedient, and sinful person, church, or country.
