Thinking of Leaving the UPC

Whether that kingdom is a literal 1000 literal years or if that is some kind of a figurative number or not is something not agreed upon. I don't see how this would be a cause for leaving the UPC.

I wouldn't have thought it was enough to kick people out over either. But the UPC have showed that they don't want people that don't believe in a literal 1000 years. They kicked all these folks out. I can understand why he's thinking of leaving...

Has the UPC kicked people out over a literal 1000 year kingdom?
I read about the stand the UPC took on preterism a while back. I think they defined Revelation chapters 4 and up of the Book of Revelation as being after the rapture and about the tribulation (maybe I'm mistaken here), but did they actually disfellowship preterists and/or post trib rapture folks? Bro. Baxter has a monthly column in the Pentecostal Herald and he is post-trib.

The UPC allows post-tribbers but not preterists.

It was a good decision by the UPC. The BAO did the same. They are styill holding the line, and I thank the Lord for it.
