I'm sorry brother Blume ... but after reading your posts you have confused the local assembly w/ the entire body of Christ ... the Church.
A UPCI church and a "charismatic" church are part of the body ... and so your thoughts on the God's Ultimate Will for the Church should include both types of assemblies as still being one body.

Well said Daniel! I fear alot of people confuse the two as well. There is a large body out there and we are just a part of it. For us to think that we are the entire body is false teaching and believing. Infact it is so far into false teaching it is abominable, IMO.

That is not the point. When churches are VERY divergent on issues, there is obviously more truth in one over the other. The issue at hand evidently is not one of very divergent churches, so the point I made does not seem to fit.
But if it was a case of very divergent churches, some churches stagnate truth and others soar in it. His WORD is above even his name. And it is always God's will for His Spirit to guide us into all truth. If one church preaches against truth and another promotes it, it's a no-brainer.
And what about the idea that one of the two churches thinks the other is going to hell? What are your thoughts there?

Hello all-
Well some if not most of you know that I had left the UPC church I went to, but my wife and daugther stayed. Well this has put a strain on us alittle and has hurt my relationship with her family. Well my daughter is almost 2 and I came to the decision of returning to the UPC for now and maybe forever. This will keep the consitancy in raising our child/children. As oppose to them choosing to go the charasmatic church with me and maybe getting confused on the teaching. I will definately raise my kids right. My wife and I see eye to eye on most if not all issues, but she just can not leave there. So back I go. What do you all think? I am curious to hear what you all have to say.

Same old same old around here. We finally moved out of the government housing. My son is now around 6'1". My oldest daughter is really smart, almost too smart for her own good. The wife started a new job today. It looks like I am going back to work from home at least until I can find an insurance agency I can take over! Still no home church.

Yeah them cons wore me out, especially my father-in-law. LOL I am glad to be in the same place as my family even though I do not follow all the church teaches I can be fine there. Thanks for the warm welcome back.
