This is pretty much what he described he wanted, a place for UPC folks and apostolics to discuss issues without fear of being called out and punished by the powers that be.

Jim was a moderate/liberal, i know because i sat and visited his home multiple times, ate his wifes cooking in Independence, LA and had many many deep discussions of standards, the UPC's history (remember that his dad started two districts of the UPC N. and S. Dakota) and other things. In fact he is a major influence on how i became a left leaning apostolic (which is still to the right of 99% of the rest of Christianity).

The absolute truth! What the ultra-cons call "liberal" on this board is still extreme conservatism to most of Christianity!

In what ways would a 'liberal' Pentecostal be more conservative than most of Christianity?

I'll use myself as an example:

1. I don't smoke or drink
2. I don't wear jewelry besides a wedding ring and watch.
3. No tattoos
4. I vote Republican
5. I don't have a potty mouth.
6. I dress conservatively, compared to the general population
7. I believe baptism is required for all believers
8. I believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost w/ speaking in tongues
9. I believe a Christian will live his life as if he represents Christ himself
10. I attend church on a regular basis.
11. I pay tithes.
