Re: UPC General Conference updates
I have to admit.........I don't know anything about the "emerging church". But I don't like the very sound of it.
Emerging from what? The church has been here for two thousand years. We just need to be a part of the book of Acts church........and be very careful about falling into false doctrine.

it's just a term used to describe the church's response to post-modernism and as such will be distinctive from the modern church and thus is emerging from the modern church to engage a new culture that is emerging from a old culture. the idea is that culturally we are in a time of transition from one age to another and these 'new' forms will be distinctive and as we are in the transition stage we are 'emerging'.

Uh, really?
So, the Oneness church "emerging" from the trinitarians wasn't a good thing? The evangelical church "emerging" from the Roman Catholic church wasn't a good thing?
No offense, but this "hold the fort" mentality is the damnable doctrine, here.

Brother Mike, the "book of Acts" church didn't emerge from the trinity church. It's the original.
I'm just not familiar with the term "emerging church". But the book of Revelation does say to "come out of her my people.......". Maybe we're still in the process of coming out.....

Right Sis. Sarah. Apostolics are not protestants.

How utterly ignorant.
"Apostolics" would not exist if not for some holiness-minded Methodists that got a hold of God over in Topeka around the turn of the twentieth century.
Talk about revisionist history?!

But we weren't supposed to be a split off or the child of the Methodist church, you see, we went back and experienced the restoration of the apostolic Christian church.

Is this yet another, "Inconvenient Truth?"
Or another question is could it be possible that God saved souls who were Catholic, living what they knew?
In the Dark Ages, the avg Serf couldn't read you know.
However for some, the answer is a resounding, "No, they were all lost and all are burning in hell and have been there since 1492!"
No scripture for it, but somehow that just never sat right with me.

I understand you not understanding. The Acts 2:38, Jesus name Church has existed since the day of pentecost. I understand where your coming from.. as far as trinity guys in N. America getting a revelation.. and so forth.. but the true Church, the Bride of Christ, did not rise from false doctrine. It started in Acts chapter 2. God bless.

If it wouldn't have been for the ONE GOD we would not be here. It is by the ONE GOD we are here, and not by anything else. It is HIS WORD, HIS SPIRIT, HIS WILL, HIS POWER, HIS CHURCH, HIS PLAN, AND HIS GRACE.
