I have never one time mentioned that church or anything about it from the pulpit or to any of the saints. We do not fellowship them, but I never comment on them to the church.
We have another neighbor who has a good church and we sometimes have combined services with them even though we don't see everything eye to eye.
I personal have never heard a pastor run down another church from the pulpit.

I don't recall hearing a pastor badnmouth another church from the pulpit either.
Another Pentecostal Urban Legend spawned by some kook somewhere that did it, and now used as a broadbrush attack against those with whom we disagree.

Were your vitriolic posts justified because you judged a brother as self-righteous?
When did you get promoted to the position that gave you that authority?  |
So, you are singling me out? As if I'm the only one with the judgemental attitude? Dude, get off your high horse. If you wanna have the right to say something to me, then maybe you should consider saying something to your friend.

Brother Eastman,
I don't even know Whole Hearted.
As far as I know, we have never met. I diagree with his posts sometimes.
I don't believe he has called you names or made personal attacks against you as you have done to him.
Please point it out if he has.

The upci needs to rid itself of the legalists so the conservatives, moderates, and liberals can work together.

Nice attempt at taking the focus off your own vitriolic posts by trying to focus on a trivial detail.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to notice that my posts have taken the more militant style within the last two weeks, I didn't know you cared. Thanks.

Then the Tulsa group should be in dandy shape.
Sounds like you are "hurt, disappointed, and grieved" over an organization rather than the 'loss of truth.'
If the group leaving has the truth, in your opinion, then the truth will continue and you should feel confident in that. You guys seem to think that you know the will of God, so why be hurt, disappointed and grieved.
Frankly, from some of the postings I've read from the group who view the UPCI as the sinking Titanic, it seems that Ferd is right. You're not grieved over truth - you're grieved over change and the fact that the UPCI didn't do things the way all of you wanted.
Groups and organizations that don't keep pace and evolve die.

Be blessed, Brother Eastman...
I understand your desire to deflect the focus away from the fact that you made personal attacks against a man who had not done the same to you.
Many of us have been there...
I wish you all the best.
