To bad the constituents of the UPC...where most of the money comes from....are treated as outsiders in the process in at least NOT being allowed to hear things pertaining to these great issues.
It's for this reason I always say I attend a UPC but I am not "UPC", because it's really a paid members club
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

True dat. The UPC is a ministerial association, thus a members only club of sorts. Technically, as you say, if you don't have a card you're not "UPC".

I wonder what if any affect this can have on the over all health and number of the UPC to have an alienated class of people who are tithing to support such a group but have no voice whatsoever nor even a passive participation...knowing a lot of things are done in secret.
