An emphatic, NO. The two factions that comprised the 'spirit of the merger' were both seeking God, seeking separation, seeking a promotion of passionate preaching. People lean WAY too heavy on this 'spirit of the merger' without realizing that both factions were practically identical in every way... except the 'one step' / 'three step' thing.
Obviously I agree with your assessment here... and, likewise, believe that CoonBishop is right.
Uhoh... this may be the resurrection of the Posse...

Last year at Thanksgiving, I had a long discussion with GLGJR. He was at the merger sitting between his dad GLGSR and A.T. Morgan. They were all from my home church and part of the PCI side of the house. That was quite a conversation. the whole house was quiet listening to that tale.
He also told me that when the Glass preachers got together, (and there were/are a lot of them), Papa George would say he wished they could all go some place where Pentecost had never been heard of and start over. clearly he had issues with what the UPCI had become.
Part of me is glad he died before 1992. that would have hurt his soul.
