How soon do you think? Our generation? Two more?

I'm hoping those groups can lead people to Christ too. Seems there may be a conflict that some have of leading people to themselves first though.

The only thing sure, is that no one knows for sure! Could be today!

Another sure thing is that there is no organization perfect!

I am of the opinion we can live for God and live our convictions where ever we are...

Re: WPF back to UPCI

First hand observations: Some of the churches that left had been debating leaving for years. Some never wanted to be UPCI and/or were only in it becasue their pastor was. A handful had been told to "tone it down" or "clean it up" at a sectional or district level and were avoided by other UPC churches in their areas-in other words, their leaving had nothing to do with national or international UPCI decisions, but those at the local level-and those haven't changed. This is true of liberals and conservatives, those that left for WPF and other organized fellowships, as well as those who left for more loosely affiliated groups.

Re: WPF back to UPCI

Some people were planning on leaving and the tv resolution was just something to blame for it.

One pastor (pastor, church, district unnamed) had met with other ministers and planned on establishing the new org. Then when the tv resolution was adopted he stood in his pulpit lamenting how the organization had "left him" and he didn't know what to do but he was going to to spend some time fasting and praying for direction (not divulging that he and others already had an organization in the works). Shortly thereafter he announced that a new group (WPF) had formed and he was being guided by the Lord to become part (a leadership position) of it.

i dont think it was "God" who told them to leave....so I don't think He gets a vote if they decide to return.

Re: WPF back to UPCI

Sometimes admitting error by returning is too hard to accomplish since it is like having one's foot too far down one's own throat.
