The problem the younger generation has with the UPC are what appears to be man made traditions amoung other things. There are enough in the UPC that don't "foam at the mouth" at the mention of the word Trinity.

Not enough "that foam at the mouth"? Yes.....because whether or not there are three "persons" or three "manifestations" or whatever word you use, is a GREAT way to spend our time, isn't it? That right there is CERTAINLY worth foaming at the mouth. Any so-called "trinitarian" or so-called "oneness person" is wasting their time if they give a hoot in hades about it. Both are monotheistic and believe the SAME THING!!! Is "Eternal Sonship" really worth a 100+-year war?? You say there's one God? There isn't a trinitarian on the planet that would disagree (except the Herbert W. Armstrong group and no one takes them seriously).
I've been gone from Pentecostalism since '93 and I can't remember the last time I thought about the word "trinitarian" or "oneness" until I accidently stumbled onto this blog.
I still just challenge you mouth-foamers to NEVER read a Jim Cymbala or Max Lucado book or EVER sing a Bill Gaither or Andrae Crouch song. If people, like them, believe that "there is One God eternally existing as three persons", and if they are completely in "false doctrine" then don't sing the songs or read the books of these "deceived" people. It's hypocrisy.
