The only thing UPC about me is that my pastor holds a upc license.
We are not affiliated with the UPc as a church.

Yes we know. But for some, becoming ex-Pentecostal has been a rest stop on the road toward becoming ex-Christian.

Believing in the fundamentals of Pentecostal doctrine is not antithetical to having faith in Christ.
Neither is it having "faith in pentecost" as you cynically assert.

I just disagree with the notion that "you must believe in something or you will fall for anything". I am suspicious and distrustful of pretty much everything, which will make it kinda hard for me to "fall for anything". As for having faith, the problem is that you have to choose what to have faith in, and there are too many choices.

It's not about religion or even doctrine, so much as turning all control over to an unseen God. There is really one choice as I believe it. It's not just believing in God, as it is believing God. There is a difference.
