Haven't logged on here in a couple years. How is everybody? Been lurking a little and decided to re-join. Also haven't beent to UPC church or any oneness church for over a year. Do miss some aspects but must say I am a happy stable man.

I can't recall what name I used before. Besides, didn't post a whole lot.
Thanks

A little more about me. I was around the UPC for almost 30 years. Know and still have some of my closest friends. Sure, many are dissappointed but the true friends still welcome me. A lot have turned away as expected.

So have you rejected Oneness doctrine? Or the UPC group? Both?

In the sense of claiming that those who do not fully understand the nature of the Godhead are lost, I do not accept. Aside from that, I believe the oneness doctrine.
I don't believe that baptism is for literal remission of sins and I don't believe the necessity of speaking in tongues for salvation. Both subjects have been covered quite well on this forum. No need for explanation.

I believed and stated the above for several years at the appropriate time but continued in the UPC. God provided the right timing for my departure.
That I am most thankful.

Returnperson,

You have stated you are no longer UPC but are you still a church going Christian? Are you plugged into a church somewhere?

There is life in Christ, after UPC, and there are great communities of believers that you can be a part of and still walk in Life. Would you agree?
