Many are jumping ship it seems. Even key leaders at the "large" WPF church, from what I've heard. Friend told me that some are going back to the 'Mothership' and others aren't sure of Apostolic doctrine at all.

Jesus prayed for the Body.
His prayer is recorded in John 17.
He prayed for "us" (all who are or have ever been or ever will be a part of that body)
He prayed for:
1 Salvation verses 2-5
2 Revelation verses 6-8
3 Preservation verses 9-12
4 Jubilation verse 13
5 Sanctification/Separation verses 14-19
6 Evangelization verse 20
7 Unification verses 21-23
8 Affection (love) verses 23, 26
9 Glorification verses 22-24

Brother Talmadge French met the NC District Board asking to be received back into the UPCI.. After hearing his request and discussing his situation with him, Bro. French was unanimously received back into fellowship in the UPCI as an ordained minister.

Bro. French realizes now that he did not fully understand what kind of organization the WWPF would be or the direction it would take and wishes to blame no one else for his error in judgment. Things are clearer now and he realizes his mistake and desired to correct it as soon as possible.

Bro French has resigned all positions with the WWPF and has no further obligations with them. He is committed to following the UPCI Manual guidelines whenever ministering outside the UPCI. Because of his excellent research and the book he wrote entitled, “Our God Is One”, he has been able to declare the “Oneness” message in many places outside of our organization.

These kind of emails will abound, and while they may contain some truth, (the fact that he has rejoined the UPCI) they also contain much conjecture at best (or lies at worst) on the part of the writer which IMHO is mixed with the truth to create a much more negative report. (see bolded portion)

Wasn't French at Johnny Godair's? Did he leave his church or did Johnny Godair finally quit his WPF day job?

He has left Bro. Godair's church and is now working out of Bro. Huntley's from what I understand.

I know how you meant that, Sis. Alvear, but there really is only one ship and all of us who have Jesus within are in that one ship whether we are in an organization or not.
