A Crumbling UPC 'Fesses Up, AI is not working

Now DKB admits he delayed teaching AI to his new converts and, in some cases, refused to teach it at all?

I find this admission very frustrating, because many UPCI Home Missionaries have been struggling to "line up" to the extra-biblical expectations of Apostolic Identity for years. They, unlike DKB, did not delay teaching it because they were pressured to teach it. This pressure was applied at ever national and statewide conference in America over the past five years.

The hypocrisy is amazing.

So, what do we say to the Home Missionary pastor who has lost dozens of precious souls because he did teach Apostolic Identity, without delay?

What do we say to the Home Missionary who eventually gave up because, just like the Korean pastor, every time he preached it, he lost an entire congregation?

What does this say about the integrity of leadership within the United Pentecostal Church? You delay teaching what you really believe, because you're afraid of the consequences? You refuse to teach what you really believe because you are afraid new converts will leave?

What if every UPCI pastor took the same approach DKB admitted to? How long until the UPCI looked radically different than it does right now?
