Re: Con-to-Lib "Hybrid" Churches: Let's be Honest
The churches that I know personally which failed after standards were dropped.... standards were the least of their problems. Once the curtain fell, there was a LOT of hidden sin revealed. Rampant adultery, fornication, homosexuality, molestation. From the very top on down.
I do personally know of one former UPC church which now considers themselves non-denominational, and no longer have the UPC standards. They are apparently still thriving. Same pastor, same people, plus growth. The pastor basically just stopped enforcing the standards and over 15 years or so it transitioned. I have no information about the state of their hearts, and the true state of the church, I don't attend there. So whether they are truly successful or not is in the hands of God.
