Re: Has The UPC Gone Progessive ?
Progressive Pentecostalism embraces the fundamental principles and expressions of traditional Pentecostalism, while embracing the continued progressive principles of human inclusion, social justice, ecumenism and political action. In Acts 2, the Church began as an inclusive body of believers who “...spake in languages that all understood”. The Azusa Street Revival mirrored Acts 2, with Black and White worshipping and in fellowship together during the height of racial segregation. This confirms our belief that a hallmark of Pentecostalism is not only the demonstration of the Holy Spirit, but also the eradication of racial, ethnic, orientational and other barrier which is evidence of Christian love.
