I am so thankful Christ didn't require a license to preach the gospel to a lost and dying world. Just think- He might send you to a town that already boasts a UPCI assembly, and that same UPCI org, will not allow you to obey your call from God- because there is a church already in place. Never mind that it's been there for 40 years, running 20 people, and the pastor is satisfied with THAT. After all, he has a great secular job, and the church is just a part-time gig for him...
Of whom do I speak? No one in particular- it has happened alllll across this country, and I am certain that God is not pleased with it.
Someone WILL pay for the souls lost. God help ALL of you UPCI licensed ministers. You wear it like a badge. Stuff and nonsense. This is the sordid thinking that has made me re-think my love of 'organized religion'. I have a definate loathing for it.
Rest well on your pillow tonight, bro. You have to answer to the same JUDGE as myself one day.

I will rest very well tonight thank you.
My what a disrespectful person you are.
No a lic is not required but it helps us know whom we minister among, because not everything that claims to be Aposotlic Pentecost is.
If a man can not respect those over him howcan he expect people to respct him? I may not always agree with everything the org does but it is the best thing going. And if it will stay with what is stated in the articles of faith we will be all right.
