Bombshell- Considering going back to the UPC

[navygoat1998]

So now we are going to get into a discussion about what you have rejected to see if I "line up"?

Ferd I was just curious as to where you stood on the subject.

The difference between us is not in my view of "if a woman cuts her hair will she go to hell" but in the fact that you found some stuff taught by some people that you didnt agree with.... so you rejected all doctrine taught by those guys and found some new belief system to replace the old.

Honestly before I ever heard LS preach his crazy message I had doubts. Added to the fact that we were getting kicked in the teeth was just more fuel to the fire.

I did not find a new belief system, my eyes were opened to Jesus Christ and Him crucified and that He is full of Grace and Mercy.

I still believe in repentance and one must have a altar of repentance in ones life.

I still believe that Baptism is vital in the life of a believer and all believers in Christ NEED to be Baptized in His death, burial and resurrection.

I still believe that the GIFT of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence is for all that ask.

I still believe in living a life that is pleasing unto the Lord.

I didnt. I find great comfort in the doctrine and I have no need to reject doctrine, when I find some man misapplying it in some way.

I don't think you know how hard it was for us to leave. It was not easy waiting God to punish us and to pronounce judgment on us and to remove us from the earth and send us to Hell. I don't think you understand the sleepless nights and the anguish thinking that God had turned us over to our own sins. This is what we were being taught and was being preached. Left a really bad taste in my mouth.

We prayed and fasted and sought God and sought His mercies. I have pleaded with God to show me if we are in error. He has confirmed to me over and over again that we have not left His truth. I won't ever go into the different times we have heard the tongues and interpretations at different churches that we had never been to and did not know a soul.

Does God not love us enough that He would show us the error of our ways? My wife and I have the same Holy Ghost inside of us that you yourself posses. He does not love us enough to correct us if we are out of line?

I know the convicting voice of the Father and I know the loving voice of the Father. I would be obedient!

Since we are asking questions, do you believe it is proper...that a person can be saved... by rejecting entire passages of scripture and just ignoring them?

What particular Scripture does this pertain to???

if the tone here comes accross as harsh, it is certainly not meant to be that way. please understand I dont want to be confrontational here.

Ferd I take no offence and for what its worth I consider you my brother in Christ
