His church is in the Dallas area.

You may not realize this but many UPC churches have their own set of standards. The Pastor makes the guidelines and they follow.
It all can't be heaven or hell, they are all so inconsistant.

When I went to Manguns church, when there was a ski trip we all wore ski suits. Now thats PANTS!
We kept warm, thanks God AM has sense!
Just looked at the directory...he is still Ordained UPCI....Texas District.

I will state this... it is very hard to find a good church with standards in the Dallas area. Now some will say well there is this one and that one..but I have known about 5 people who moved over there or live over there and that is the testimony I get from them. Several have ended up out of church or have left the "upc" standards. Tx isnt like La lol over here good churchs are everywhere if your looking for standards lol but in Tx it is kinda hard to find a good church. With good mixture of worship and standards.
Ok my two cents

Spiritually anemic people can let standards or lack of standards define their spirituality. Why would anyone quit church or lose their faith or walk with God because they didn't have a church with standards to follow?

Because the standards are their only guide rails, not the word or the Spirit of the Lord. No relationship with Jesus, the guide rails of standards not present, uh oh, not faith! Boom!!!!! Everything disappears into the canyon of unbelief and despair.

Don't you know that the important things are the dress code and the emotional intensity of the worship? Why bring the Word into this!

One can look the part and NOT be the part but you can NEVER be the part and not look the part.
