I've never met Pixler, and with his background I guess I'd have to confess that he's probably an exception to this; however if he was never UPC to begin with and isn't even WPF now, I guess his independence speaks for itself.

None of them would refer to themselves as dictators, of course. They'd clothe it in different clothes.
Pixler has never been UPCI to my knowledge, though I heard he was on staff in Northern California at a UPCI-endorsed church. Anyone can confirm? Maybe even possibly San Jose. The independent brethren he hung with though were all in the mold of Phil White and the PSR Boys. But Pixler seems like a fish out of water with those characters.

Steve Pixler has never been UPC. He grew up in an independent church in Ft Worth that consistently fought against the UPC. (I don't think the UPC California staff job is correct.) His dad was very much anti-UPC as well as anti-tithes. (Don't know if Steve is anti-tithes and anti-UPC as his dad was.) He came out of a very strict, everything that a person might consider doing was wrong, atmosphere. He has done a great job in Ft Worth. A man of integrity and an honest person.

His dad was in fellowship with several independent oneness churches that were very much anti-tithes. Don't know what Steve's teaching on this is.

Sounds funny. Do you mean he didn't support the Evangelical and Pentecostal teaching on tithing that you must give 10% or be cursed by God?
If so... sign me up.

At one point it was even preached in the fellowship of independent churches there in the Ft Worth area that tithes was a part of the mark of the beast! Now that will rot your socks, won't it?

Brother Pixler was raised in an anti tithes organization. I heard him preach on tithing a couple years back at Bro Godair's church and he said he recieved revelation of tithing just as a trinitarian would receive revelation of the Oneness of God. I am not certain but i do believe he is in the WPF. And regarding the question concerning the use of video and the WPF. The Rock Church in Sacramento is WPF and video's their services and streams them online.

Pixler is not WPF.
Interesting about tithing...
A revelation from God? How can these things be said? What about the guy that had the revelation that tithing wasn't biblical today?

How do you know this? He preaches at almost every WPF conference.
Yeah that's what he said. He had to search it out for himself. I have the message on cd.
