1) Dan's right - but why ramifications for Life when so many churches are not affiliated, though its ministers are? Is it a set-up move for what's next?
2) UPCI webmaster is part-time, and needs to log in to AFF more for current news.

And please, will someone tell me what water and spirit doctrine is? Thats a new one for me.

Perhaps it would be best to confirm the info before AFF's minions dissect the situation?

There was no church split although there were several families stirring up trouble.
... I think some speculation was offered about disaffiliation and/ or turning in a license.. and according to this ... you have confirmed that this is exactly what is happening ...
There are many reasons to disaffiliate ... I have a hunch there will be more to this.
This is a pillar church of the org ... nothing to sneeze at if Life does make such a decision, imo.
Sorry DA a couple corresponded via PM.
BTW...I am with on the outcome.
