I agree with this statement and I understand where Maple Leaf is coming from...that's why we left the UPC. We couldn't preach the standards message anymore and we didn't want to be a hinderance to the UPC. So, we left. It costs us a lot, but it was worth it!

If Rex Johnson doesn't preach what the UPC believes and endorses, he should probably find another Ministerial Fellowship to join up with! That being said, I would love it if things would change in the UPC, but I just don't see that happening. Now people are leaving in groves...it's sad and scary and exciting at the same time!

I personally love TFT and Rex Johnson! I think they are GREAT men of God and I believe wholeheartedly that they love God and they want what is the best for God's children!

Well said. Now, why didn't you just come along and say it at the beginning and save me a whole lot of two fingered typing.

If you want to have Sandra sing on Sunday morning and if you want to preach on TBN on Monday night, go ahead and do it, but, for sanity's sake, get rid of the card in your wallet that says that you wholeheartedly disapprove of Sandra's paint and powder, and that you reject the doctrinal foundation upon which the Trinity Broadcasting Network is built.

Re: Another SPLIT from the UPCI???

The people who should be leaving are the ones who changed the intent of the original upci charter. It's ok to promote change when one is looking at the backside of the leader, but by god one they get in charge opposing views have to leave. That is garbage and you know it.

By 1992, the upci was nothing like the it was at the merger.
