Well I can't bear any light on the original post, but i can swear that the very thing was said by my pastor.
Our "holiness" was impecable...no one else was rightous as we were.

It was declared from the pulpit that if you want to go to hell just leave this church and go to Br. ******* church.

Both churches were UPC BTW.

This type of behavior should not once be named among us.

Sadly that is not the case.

Competitive holiness is rampant among oneness pentecostals.

It's a stench in God's nostrils.

Why is it okay to name all the naughty things that liberals do and bring attention to it and speak against it, but it's NOT okay to bring attention to wrong things that UC's do?

I just don't understand this thinking.

Why are they so extra sensitive?

It's cuz the UC's got that scripture God wrote for them (they think)

"Touch not mine annointed...do my prophets no harm."

My former pastor could not comprehend that HE was the one in violtion of this scripture in his mistreatment of God's people.

That is so ingrained into the congregations heads that they don't dare question the standards. To do so would be touching the annointed and doing harm. So, the best thing to do (in their minds) is to defend it to the bitter end.
