(think harlots caught had to wear certain garments that distinguished them)

Before you make statements you can't back up you need to study history and quit assuming that what you have been told by pastors and other to keep the saints under the unbiblical pastoral authority is true.

Keep studing and praying God is directing you to the place you will feel comfertable serving him. My whole family went through the same thing a few years ago. Now all my children are in good churches and growing in the spirit.

Before you make assumptions that I just tell what pastors have told me, you need to get to know me my friend.

Touch'e sorry you are right, But having been born and raised in coservitive UPCI and having been a card carrying licenced minister I have seen and heard all the "God convicted me of this or that. The statement of God convicted me does not hold as much water with me as I was associate minister with a pastor that never preached on standards, yet people would come to him when they were leaving on more than one occasion and tell him they were leaving because he preached against this or that. When my wife came to God she took her pants off because every one else did not wear them.

Any way just thought you should know a bit about where I came from.
