Re: Promiseland (WOP) vrs. New Life Church
crazyjoe,
Pastor Phillips left the UPC way back in 1978 over the TV issue. The church does not maintain the so called "standards" of a typical UPC church. KP is a strong proponent still of Jesus name baptism and the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
I do not believe that DB started his church as any response to KP leaving the UPC since DB started his probably almost two decades after KP left. The UPC pastor who did strategically place his church 5 minutes from KP's church so he couls "save" KP's church members was Keith Clark who no longer pastors in Austin.
I believe the pastor of New Life church is a gentleman and while I do not believe he approves of KP's direction I have no doubt that both men would be cordial and gracious to each other. There is no "fellowship" between the churches though.
Unless things have changed KP does have a good relationship with Rex Johnson who pastors Christian Life Church in South Austin, a UPC church.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
