The UPCI Is Not Alone In Church Splits

[stmatthew]

I think we need to balance this with the fact that most realize that in the beginning the men of the merger preached basically the same thing. Both preached Acts 2:38 vehemently as necessary. This changed as men grew in understanding and doctrine was gradually more clearly defined.

Barb, I am sorry, but we can never go back to the days of "unity" in the sense that they had it then, because the doctrine of salvation has been defined more clearly, and there are found to be 2 differing views in the camp. It is doctrine that divides us, not our desire to be divided. And a man cannot in good conscience hold salvational doctrine, and join with those that believe a "lesser" salvational stance.
