Re: WPF back to UPCI
Well indeed, it makes so much sense. UPCI lost the right wing to the WPF and in an attempt to coax them back, the lose the left. With little hope of the right wing returning. Sounds like a turkey to me.

The right wing is still well in place in the UPCI. They just lost those who wanted to be a bishop without having to go through the process of kissing enough preacher booty to get the votes on a district or general level.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I also believe that many of the moderate/conservative preaches left because they weren't sure where the UPCI was trying to stand on the holiness issues. Now that the UPCI is declaring their stance I think the returns are inevitable. What do you ladies and gentlemen think?

Yes, I do believe it is inevitable that those who departed from the UPCI to form the WPF will someday return, but not necessarily because the UPCI began reaffirming its stand for the protection of the (holiness) standards which those who left it saw slipping away.
Indeed, I believe that every Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal group, regardless of the name by which they are known, will soon become a completely unified group, because I believe that the church, the Bride of Christ which He will receive unto Himself at His soon appearance, MUST be without spot, blemish, or wrinkle; that is to say, totally unified.

Perhaps the UPC/PAW/AMF/WPF/ETC will become united as part of the great harlot during the tribulation period?
As far as the second thought, God HAS a Church, and in His sight She IS without spot, blemish, or wrinkle because She has been washed in His blood and is clothed in His holiness.

PAW will jump first.
The Board of Bishops is meeting soon (this week I think?). So I have been hearing to discuss adopting the Roman "mitre" (the pope caps) and the staff, and all that foolishness. It will make our annual conventions look like a meeting of shouting catholic rejects.
I'm expecting the organization to adopt these traits and for some of the FEW conservative Bishops and their councils to consider leaving. They are also voting on whether or not the org will continue to stand for three-step salvation. I fully expect if they decide to no longer preach three-step many conservatives in PAW will leave.

Re: WPF back to UPCI
no article is to be heard that would bring division to the body.... they knew this would be a dividing factor, competitive? no people definitely know where both stand, choices are made.
