In some cases UPCI pastors have completely taken their entire churches in this direction. (I know of a UPCI church here in Missouri that made a 180 degree turn just with in this past year, and they are still listed on the United Pentecostal Church International "church locator").
I guess my question is, is why? I'm not being bitter or hateful. I'm just curious. What makes some "BOOM" make a complete change like that? Some say it's freedom....but I still don't get it.

Was United Pentecostal for 40 years plus and attend a UPCI church today where only the pastor is affilated. I do not consider myself UPCI and when I move mid next year, I will not be attending a UPCI church. It will be a like minded doctrinal church but minus the other weights. I have not been mistreated, abused...I have just come to the right mind enough already...
