Your assessment of UPCI is faulty. I don't believe anyone that did not follow Acts 2:38 is a carnal minded sinner. Im sure David Bernard would not make such a generalizing assessment either.
I've been in services where it was a multi-denominational meeting with a UPCI and a black baptist and some non-denom spanish congregation. Recently many of us went to a concert featuring Tramain Hawkins at a black baptist church and we worshiped with them

believe me i would love to see some denominational mix of worship i truely would. The only time i saw the upci and other churches come together was to picket abortions. I was so shocked and amazed. For one day everyone put away there doctrines and denomination and came together as a true body of believers for Pro -Life.

In my personal experience they do consider us a Cult. The listen to the Bible Answer man call us a cult. Visit a Trinitarian forum like CARM and witness it for yourself\
Our women don't dress "back in time" and in many none standard churches the women wear dresses to church anyways. I don't know what churches you guys go to but at my UPC church standards rarely get a mention and our congregation is so mixed that a visitor would rarely notice some of the ladies don't have makeup on. Any growing UPC church is gonna not all look the same.
If any visitor has not heard the UPC is a cult or thinks that way they probably don't already know about the standards or have an opinion that at every service the preacher is going to preach at them for not dressing like they do. Seriously what churches are you guys going to that this is happening?
We have visitors all the time....what more can I say?

Yes some have called the UPC a cult, but I don't have to visit a forum when I can just ask my family lol. They don't call the UPC a cult and I'm going from THEIR own words. When I say "back in time" I mean that they have to go back to an antiquated way of interpreting what the bible means by modesty...etc. not the actual DATE the clothes were produced (but I can see how that would be mistaken because of the way I worded it). And it may not happen now, but because of some of their previously horrible experiences, they still won't set foot in the church even if you promise them that nobody will make them go to the altar for having on lipstick.
Oh, and I PERSONALLY have heard the messages "change" just because I walked through the door and they assumed I we were not saved. lol

Re: Do "other people" worship with your church?
Okay but back to what I asked (even though reversing the question is cool too)...
Why don't Oneness fellowship when invited to other churches? I've had some people promise return visits but...I guess we were not saved enough (even though we ARE oneness too).

so thier not even acknowledged as brothers and sisters in christ. (sorta sad really)

I attend a UPC church and we have baptists, lutherans, catholics, non-denominational and occasionally a few others that come and worship with us. AND some of them even sing and play! Imagine that...on the platform, up front, just as they are.

Re: Do "other people" worship with your church?
A great many Trins would never accept an offer to attend a Oneness Church. They have many thousands of web sites up teaching their followers that Oneness Churches are cults and Oneness doctrine is heresy.
