UPC found in Wikipedia under "Schisms & Splits"
 

I looked up the UPCI and found this on Schisms and Splits and low and behold I found this on Wikipedia:

The UPCI has experienced several splinters since its inception in 1945.

In 1955, a group of ministers led by Bishop C. B. Gillespie (Fairmont, WV), Bishop Ray Cornell (Cleveland, OH), and Bishop Carl Angle (Nashville, TN) rechartered the PAJC using the original charter.[citation needed]
1968 a number of ministers organized the Apostolic Ministerial Fellowship - AMF, lead by Robert Cavaness, Murray Burr and others, citing the UPCI as 'liberal'. Central issues were holiness and local church government. Detractors said that Murray Burr was disgruntled because he was not elected General Superintendent.
In 1986, Pastor L. H. Hardwick, a UPCI pastor in Nashville, Tennessee, and Jack Dehart of Texas broke away from what he called "legalists" (referring to the issue of dress code and standards), and formed Global Christian Ministries (now Global Network of Christian Ministries).[citation needed]
In 2001, Bishop Teklemarim Gezahagne and the more than 2 million members of the Apostolic Church of Ethiopia broke their 45 year alignment with the UPCI and joined up with the AWCF. The division was over Christology. Interesting accusations since most Pentecostals differ with the UPCI on Christology issues.

In January 2008 another split came to the UPC prompted by a 2007 resolution to allow advertising on television. The schism led by Jonny Godair formed the Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship.


Interesting..........

Another reason I don't put any stock in Wikipedia's factual content.

why is that?

wonder how they find out that kind of information...maybe Brother fudge???:walking:

Because anyone can change the info placed in there.

The UPC article on Wikipedia has long been a battle ground of sorts. There was a long drawn out debate over whether or not NBA star David Robinson was a "prominent member of the UPC." Some UPC people said he was, others said he wasn't.

The core of the site is the public domain 1911 Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. The site is handy for undisputed facts like population figures and such.

They have their facts wrong.

the info under january 2008 split was about 2 paragraphs a couple of weeks back and was edited
also there has been a there again and gone again addition under: one contested viewpoint is ownership of a "television set"
I mean who besides holiness pentecostals still call it a television set.... j/k

Sounded like they got this one right. My grandpa recalled all those men and said it was true.

As I said above. They got their facts wrong...
