AWCF embraces Acts 2:38. That is the sum total of their existence! Any other doctrines: standards, divine flesh, preterism... whatever are of no consequence because that is not the basis of their existence. The basis of their existence is simply to fellowship with other oneness Pentecostals

NCO is pretty much brand new. Like in the last few months I guess. It was introduced here on AFF by our super poster Daniel

DM surely you are jesting? The Infernal Document (AKA AF) has been discussed repeatedly.

But just for the new lurker out there and you if you are serious....

In 1992 a resolution was passed at UPCI General Conference that required all licensed ministers to sign a statement on a regular basis (every year or couple of years) that affirms they believe and teach the stuff in the Manual. The real goal of the AF (Infernal Document) is to insure that everyone in the UPCI holds to the Water Spirit Doctrine and doesn’t have a TV and will not advertise on TV. Really that is the heart of the Infernal Document. There are some other minor points but these 2 issues were what the folk behind the resolution were gunning for.

At the end of the day, the particular item dealing with the Water Spirit doctrine was in the opinion of many, a violation of the spirit of the 1948 Merger. The goal then was unity of the brethren until ‘unity of the faith’ was achieved. This lead to an exodus of many men who had long been members of the UPCI and in good standing but whose doctrine was somewhat different than that of the majority Water Spirit position.

Actually, I have heard about the AF in substance, just didn't recognize the title. As you can tell by the # of posts, I'm relatively new to the forum, but thanx for the info. I didn't realize church members could even comment on resolutions and official decrees, etc. It is, however, quite intriguing. I wish more members had a say in church regulation. The awcf sounds very inviting and would do more for unity. The awcf sounds like a T.D. Jakes kind of organization. I believe the upc should do more to truly be an international organization.

So far I have not mastered moving video to my nano. Then again 2 inch by 2 inch is barely adequate to view video on if I knew how.



The AS was not only in regards to TV Ferd, it was also due to a few Districts with legal issues over whether or not the rules still applied.
