Michigan District Resolution
 

From a resolution passed by the UPCI Michigan District ministers meeting:

"We also understand the need for wisdom, patience and tolerance in both evangelism and discipleship, proclaiming the life of faith and legalism."

OK, discuss. (I've already "commented" enough on FB. :lol)

Why? You don't respect them, so
why comment on them? What is
with the "legalism," btw?

The title of your link - "Stuff Apostolics Like" :heeheehee

My daughter changed membership from a church (very large) where she, emphatically, claimed that the women were hard on the standards. I told her, "No, they aren't. They just won't tell you that." She told me I was wrong. After she left, people in leadership talked with her on the phone telling her they follow the standards to keep their positions on the platform.

I think I just entered the bitter zone, right? :heeheehee

I didn't comment (here). Just asked for others to discuss. And it should be obvious that that is optional. :lol

I used the link and went to the website and read it. I keep thinking that surely it has to be a typo on the scanned document. I cannot believe they actually used the word "legalism"!

As far as the letter itself goes I think it is probably the template that UPCI HQ / DB used in his Texas district then once he became GS urged other districts to send out.

Bump

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

end of thread thanks

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

Yeah...why was this even bumped?

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

I'm interested in this type of stuff, especially when it involves the Michigan District, where I grew up, was licensed, and pastored.

I was surprised by the resolution as it originally read, and Rebecca's explanation makes a bit more sense. However, she is correct - once it circulates, it's gospel.

And, it seems that this resolution could have stood a closer proofread....I'm sure there are critics who are claiming that they are making up the story about the word "not" missing just to deflect criticism.....

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

Rumor has it that there was a typo in the document.... it was supposed to say "and not legalism"

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

Very funny stuff Timmy. The best thread you started.

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

I understand, Michael...

Btw, back in the day, did you know Cyndi Hoover Sexton and her husband, Garland?

Cyndi passed last week and her home going service was tonight in Auburn Hills.

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

Yes, I heard.....Cyndi's brother, Bub, was my favorite camp counselor....and Garland was the first guy to ever let me play the drums....I was so saddened to hear of her passing.

Re: Michigan District Resolution
 

Bubby, or 'Red' as he's known outside of MI, is a retired captain in the Navy. He looks the same I think...
