Visiting a UPC Church
 

Morning,
I live in Arkansas. I don’t actually attend a UPC church at this time.
I just resigned from pastoring a small group and now I’m wanting to return to a more Pentecostal Church. I’m pretty old timey Pentecostal, the group I had pastored was not a Pentecostal group.
I’ve been invited to visit a UPC church plant by a friend. They have a great youth program, and very active men’s fellowship and the church as a whole seems to like taking trips and dinners together.
I’m truly interested since I believe it would be great for my family, however, I know doctrinally it’s significantly different then what I have been used to.
However, I have changed some of my views significantly over the last 40 + years, so anything is possible.

What are the doctrinal differences?

The most significant would be the Trinity.

Bro. Harris,
You take water, freeze it, you got ice, boil it, you have steam. Still same water.

One God, (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) Three manifestations - still same GOD!

May God open your understanding, in Jesus Name. Let (allow, permit) HIM to
fill your mind with understanding.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Also the beginning of knowlege and understanding.

I am in Arkansas at this present moment....wow...and I was raised in Arkansas....

Re: Visiting a UPC Church
 

Does doctrine matter to you at all or are you just wanting an experience?

I would recommend staying away from anything pentecostal but I am a former pentecostal so take whatever I say with a grain of salt.

However, there are very nice people in the movement.
I am also from Arkansas.
