Secondly I have not once BASHED anyone. I respect my leadership and I love the foundation that the UPC has given me and I do love my church and the people in it. I just wish their minds were a bit more open to realize not EVERYONE will do as they do but that don’t mean they are hell bound.
Also I am not turning my back on anyone or my church, Im simply doing what I feel is best for my family. Im not saying they are wrong or that I want nothing to do with them. I just want to see what else is out there!!
Man you got on your high horse quick!!! ULTRA CON or LIBERAL as they come I still expect Christians to be on this Forum considering its called APOSTOLIC FRIENDS FORUM.

First of all anyone in leadership in a conservative church knows full well what is taught and what the general feelings are about Standards and salvation.
I find it VERY hard to believe that you are both in leadership in a conservative church and are shocked at the reaction you are getting when they find out you are thinking about "going Charismatic".
I am not for a second buying it.
as for my high horse, I get that way pretty quickly when I see people do what you are doing.
You own your actions bro. you do. not them. Don’t blame them for the reaction that anyone with any affiliation with conservatives know is natural in that setting.
The sooner you accept this is about YOU and not THEM, the better off you will be. Man up, make your decision and be happy with it.
