Sister if you haven't left God don't stay home.Get out there and find out where you are supposed to be.We changed churches this year and are
glad about it.I loved the old church but felt out of place.Where we are
now is where we need to be and are rejoicing about it.I don't care what
the pastor preaches in non essentials because I have gone places that preached much harder than my personal convictions and was in the will of God but the essentials in doctrine
such a Oneness and Jesus Name baptism are important.If a church does
not do such then people are not getting the right salvation message.
There are One God Jesus Name churches that aren't UPC.Last year
we were a part of one.Don't give up or give in to staying at home
that will only lead to depression.

Michlow,
I appreciate your thread. My concern is a practical one from 48 years of observation.
Far too often those that become untethered from their foundations blow away in the wind and never seem to land on solid ground again.
As you know I share some of the same concerns you do for the UPC and old time Oneness Pentecost.
However I have always kept hold of what I consider my spiritual foundation and that is confidence in God, the work of Calvary, etc, etc. On a more practical level what I have kept hold of in my foundation is what I consider committment and faithfulness to the house and word of God.
Too many times I see folks who either get or seek a "better understanding" of things just end up unplugged from any assembly of believers. They are either all alone (a Coopite) or manage to find a handful of other malcontents who share concerns or views with them.
All I am saying is beware. Make an honest re-evaluation often to see if you are out in the ether living by the words of that famous song "Me and Jesus got our own thing goin' on" or if you are willing to find a pastor and assembly you can submit yourself to for the important ministry to you spoken of in the Epistles.

What a waste, if she was famous they could do one of those, "I did it my way" sermons and talk about her tragic downward spiral... now all she can be is a faceless car wreck story. lol.
And now.... the end is near.... and I face.... the final curtain....

Michelow,
The UPC is NOT "the church!" Leave the UPC but don't leave the church! There are many good Apostolic churches out there w/o all the organizational drama!
