I don't think that is likely because we don't draw any distinction based on the fellowship that one belongs to. Criteria for fellowship is all about message and life lived. For many, especially to those who have been wedded to the UPC for a long time, this is hard to take at face value. I know it was for me. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop but I'm still waiting. It is certainly not perfect, like any group of men flawed humanity sometimes stands in the way. But so far I can see nothing better that I would want to be part of.

Hee heeeeeeeeeeee

Do members on this board actually feel comfortable joking like this? No wonder there are Christians who see Oneness preachers as cultic.

Sorry I missed that post, but it is out of line. Even in an attempt at humor. JMHO. (Then again, it isn't any more out of line than many other posts about UPC preachers some hold so much contempt for around here. Both should cease.)
