I've been out of UPCI for about 4 years now, never was licensed. But I can assure you that this post was the saddest and closest to home that I've read in a long time! Thank you, Mizpeh!

If this doesn't describe not only the UPCI, but the OP movement as a whole, I just don't know what does. Let's get back to the basics, folks. And by "basics," I don't mean all the stuff we add to the gospel.

Jesus said, "Go make disciples." He didn't say make converts and indoctrinate them with the dogma and tradition of our sect.

Amen. I feel the same and also used Garrison Keillor recently to make that point...

We need a leadership points to the Savior, not a HQ.

Wait....you mean the Savior's foot stool isn't in MO?

Did you forget to add, " ...and God bless them, prosper them, and lead and guide them into all truth."?

"He is not UPCI anymore....he has totally went off the deep end and has no doctrinal stance based on his website.....
Drew2Cute 3 months ago"

"..is he still with UPCI..? I'm asking as I'm unable to locate him in the UPCI Church Locator.
YoMamaWearzArmyBootz 4 months ago

I hear great things about MJ but if this video clip is his usual speaking style I would last about 5 minutes in a service with him preaching. What is it with the screaming? Why do preachers think they have to do that to be powerful and effective or "annointed"? Arghhhh!!!!!

How thankful I am that I was delivered from doing this!! :shockamoo

One of the funniest things to do would be to stand up in front of our church and preach like this. They would look at me as if I were from Mars.
