Re: UPC General Conference updates

I'm reading a lot of criticisms concerning the structure of the UPCI. Does anyone have any info as to how it compares to the structure of other organizations?

Should we compare ourselves amoung ourselves?

Which organizations do you see in the Bible?

Bro. Alex, I know that you would like to have every organization done away with. I'm just curious as to whether the structure of the UPCI is so far oput of the norm...I even read the word "cult" like in the thread. I am genuinely curious about whether this is an anomoly.

The norm is NEVER the standard for the apostolic church.

If we wanted to be "normal" we'd be trinitarians, and we'd have popes or patriarchs or archbishops and "reverends".

From my experience, the organizational structure and support for the individual church that I found while attending the UPCI is unparalleled within the ranks of Apostolic organizations.

This is the impression I got from what I personally witnessed, what I have heard people discuss and what I have experienced while attending other Apostolic, non-UPCI churches.
