Re: Dropped By & Somewhat Dismayed But Not Surpris
Here is what happened with the UPCI...it was tossed together quickly not long after its members being "expelled" from the AOG.
They were in a rush to plant new churches and send missionaries (Sad thing is we do the same thing today) so they just sent these men out who have proven themselves as good preachers.
The problem is, most did not have a deep theological nor Pastoral training. Despite the fact we have schools now and a lot of students going to them, we still plant new churches with men who never went to any theological school but what they learned from their pastor, and that pastor from his pastor and so on and so on.
There are a lot of great men out there but often times bad theology or bad pastoring techniques are just being regurgitated
