I've realized since then, that it really doesn't matter what name your church goes by, that's only a legality. What matters is what is taught behind the doors and what the church is doing beyond it's four walls to reach the lost of that city.
I think being "proud" to be UPC is a waste of pride... if you're going to be proud of anything, be proud of Jesus.

See, had I been visiting a place and looking for a oneness church, "United Pentecostal Church" would be one of the first things I look for simply because I know what they believe. Now, had it been Capital Community Church, I would have passed it by. (Not trying to be rude or anything here) How would one find out if y'all are oneness or not? I don't think a name has much to do with anything except for identifying oneself.
Anytime I see a "UPC church", "Jesus Name Apostolic church" I might feel safe visiting that church.......
