Yes, they are having a tremendous revival & influx of souls & I pray it continues in a greater measure.
From my observation & interaction with a lot of the Filipino brethren, it "appears" that ethics are not taught or followed.
I apologize if I did not make myself clear.

Actually, among the UPC Philippines Pastors and Ministers, ethics is a very important thing. It is being taught and it is being practice. Our growth is not because of members transferring from one church to another. We won't have real growth in numbers if that's the case. Our harvest consist of souls from mainly the Catholic Church, and Trinitarian Churches as well. We wouldn't have maintain our growth and momentum if it's the other way around. I hope you understand my point of view.
Your apology makes me feel that you have a nice spirit in you Bro. Ron... I hope it's always that way with all of us in this forum... I do apologize also and ask for everybody's understanding if I couldn't make myself clear on some of my posts as English is really not my primary language...
