Oh, BTW....how do you know no cons preached at CC? You're limited narrow minded definition of what a CON is is NOT necessarily the correct one. I suggest there is a better word. Conservative does not have to mean legalism. Hate mongering. Man made rules you know? Not that you would agree. The Baptists are considered conservative by evangelical standards. They are fundamentalists. But they don't have a strict outward standard, yet they are against sin. They even boycotted Disney for having a pro gay agenda...while OPs just keep going to these places.

You see, There is far more to being Christian, conservative or holy than just posing/

Oh yes, like attracts like? You know when the AOG first voted on the Trinity clause the Oneness brothers still preached in their churches and vice versa. They were ok with it. It was narrow minded politics hungry men that later changed all that and made OP synonymous with elitism...and that monster just gets bigger and bigger with each passing moment.

Not only are many elitists pulling out of the UPC, the UPC voted in a very elitists LAW in Res 3.

It's funny how none of the so called "cons" had a problem with that one. It's all about elitism and control. Sad

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.

  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Res. 4 likened to the Tower of Babel?

I don't think God is disappointed. LOL. He's pretty knowledgeable about the ways of men.

I am with Renda on this one. I belive we have clear evidence of Gods dissappointment with mankind at different times.

I think the way some are acting right now, God is very dissapointed with them.

In the eternal purpose of God I doubt very very very very much that a few men being out of sorts with a man made organization even registers on His radar screen.

I am more inclined to believe that God is probably somewhat amused at how serious some folks believe their views are to Him. I'm sure He has had a few chuckles at my own sense of self importance through the years.

you just had to show up and poke holes in my theory didnt you?

I get that whole "we arent near as important as we think we are"

and I agree with God being bemused at our own self importance.

I still think He gets disappointed in any of His kids when they act up.

I suspect that some of the attitudes, however, register very strongly on his radar screen.
