The problem is, that they believe what they are preaching IS Bible, and so they just blow off your comments as one who is deceived or just plain ignorant

Michlow,

I have always had the feeling in UPC circles that what they really mean is "if you ever hear me preaching the trinity or that people besides Oneness folks are going to heaven....".

So true! "If you ever hear me change my stance on holiness or doctrine...."

There are LOTS of good pastors around I assure you.

You are probably right, I can't verify that it is always true, since I have tried it with ALL pastors.

I can only speak based on my experience. However, I would think that its obvious that most Pastors wouldn't preach something as Biblical, if they didn't actually believe it to be so. So going to them and telling them YOU don't believe its biblical, would accomplish little.
