What would you like to ask David Bernard?
 
I don't mean this thread as a trash and bash on the UPC or any individual and I ask that we try not to go that way...but I've always had questions I could never do anything about in regards to the UPC.

One of my questions is, why does the UPC manual state we reject all extra biblical writings and view creeds and articles of faith as the writing of men yet we have our own Articles of faith? Do you know how confusing that sounds not just to me as a Oneness Pentecostal but to outsiders?

"Do you have that $50.00 I loaned you?"

Not to mention having to sign an affirmation statement! I think it would be appropriate for all of the UPC ministers not to sign the affirm the affirmation statement citing the articles of faith. (LOL!!)

Could you please make an official announcement about beards?

What would I ask?

"Who are you?" No, really. I would. I would not recognize him if he was standing in front of me and said "My name is David".

While I have met Brother Bernard, I do not know him personally, but I suspect that if anyone has a question that would be asked in a respectful and serious manner, by phone, Brother Bernard would be willing to answer that question.

My next question is, why have an article of faith and NOT include it as our doctrinal statement on the UPCI website? Why print a bunch of tracts instead? Do you know how cheasy that looks?

I would ask him what is his favorite Austin area BBQ joint? Better yet his top three.
