I know that more then one person mentioned to me that they felt it was hard to make friends with others in church.

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

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

I would concur the same regarding where I go to church -- UPC-affiliated, yet some view it as mod/lib.

Regarding friendliness and gifts of the Spirit, I've seen more of it displayed here than other places I've been...
