What a stupid remark. Not wanting truth? The truth is that leaving was THE most difficult thing I've ever done. I left because I felt that I was moving toward greater truth not the lesser.

How can one who believes one must obey all of acts 2:38 to be saved join them self with one who believes one is saved at repentance?

If one fellowship's with those that teach false doctrine one gives credence to their false doctrines and are as guilty of a lie as they are. (1 step, light, and friends of the bride doctrine's).

I think that the more I study the more I realize some things are absolutely biblical (Oneness of God, Acts 2:38, modesty, etc.), but other things are open to interpretation (prophecy, modes of baptism, and the enter-relationship of repentance, baptism, and Holy Ghost infilling, specifics on dress and appearance).

I love the UPCI. But the more I study the more I realize that many of the UPCI's positions are dogmas built on tradition not strictly the Bible. I classify myself as being more of an independent Apostolic Pentecostal. People ask me if I'm liberal or conservative...neither...I'm a radical.

What is that greater truth? Was your dad in error?
