This was an experience from a long time ago, not an issue now.
I would like to ask you some questions Prax, just out of curiosity. If you don't wish to answer, I completely understand.
As I have gotten to know you on this forum, I understand that you attend a UPC Church. Yet your beliefs don't match what I know about the UPC. I'm referring to believing in what is called on this board the "one step" salvation, vs. believing that you need to Repent, be baptized in Jesus name, and receive the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking in tongues. Also, it seems that you don't believe in typical UPC holiness standards, i.e. uncut hair, dresses on women, ect. Your church doesn't seem anything like what I would identify as a UPC Church. I'm somewhat baffled by it.
Honestly, your church doesnt seem typically UPC at all to me.

My views don't reflect my church, however our church is considered moderate/liberal by others
