It goes without saying that the UPC never encouraged its development. LOL

I am visualizing you floating around at the altar during General Conference.

Exactly. The point I was trying to make. It's a little difficult to specifically point out who and where as a whole. But, I know of pockets who line up with and believe what you just posted.

Bring in someone who dresses the part, and the conclusions are already made. "They've GOT to be Apostolic Pentecostal!"

Bring in someone who's a little more blended, not standing out in a crowd as is so heavily preached, and the arms stay crossed, rears in their seats. They won't budge or flinch. "Well, what do they know? They think they're anointed! Just look at them."

I speak from experience. I've said something along those lines a time or two. I wouldn't make them up had I not heard them amongst my "brethren" at the time.

God knows who He's blessed with what talents to be used for his anointing to advance the work of His kingdom. We don't. And that's where the conversations/thoughts should stop.

Seriously ?!?! This is the point of the thread ?

All of this great conversation conserning faith and talents and your whole point was nothing more than another thread taking a pot shot at the UPC ?

Amazing..........

yet pathetic.

There are some who can't let it rest.
As someone who associates with both the UPCI and the WPF, let me say that annointing also exists outside of these organizations.
Annointing has been known to fall even on those who do not have the full truth, as I believe it.
I have attended several churches around the country, due to my job. I have always been able to find a church that had "annointing". Some of these churches did not have the same "standards" that I personally hold, but I attended them because I would rather attend a church with the power and annointing, than a church that lined up with all of my standards, but was dead.
I believe the book says something about the annointing that breaks the yoke.

Yet, you fail to see where someone mentioned in another thread FIRST about talent vs. anointing. I'll let you take a look at it since I included it early on.

It's okay for you to "call me out" on taking a pot shot, or whatever you want to call it against the UPC, yet you every so slightly let another "brethren" slip by making snide comments on how they think they've got it all figured out with regard to talent vs. anointing.

Please, spare the one-sided finger pointing...

And there's nothing wrong with calling it like I, and many others, see it, my friend.

It's been my experience some people will base one's anointing on that person or those people's knowledge of who God is and how they live (UPC standards-wise). If they don't know who God is and don't have standards, then it's merely talent according to them.

Hopefully, that clears it up a little...

For those who didn't see this earlier, I said "SOME PEOPLE."

"Some" does not equal all...

I also said I know of "pockets." Pockets does not, again, equate to all...
