^^^ Well that makes sense, never do I think of the simple stuff


Every church has its own issues and problems, so there is not perfect alternative to the UPCI

^^^ Exactly, so why ever look elsewhere


Of course everyone roots for their team. but many would disagree with your statement "this is the closest we've ever known" for you probably only know the UPCI, if you visited other churches then you would get a different view. You would see that others believe their church is the closest they've ever known.

^^^ This is true, this is our first & last Apostolic or Pentecostal Church. If we get ran out of this Church, it will be the last one we ever attend (spent years looking for another after the Menno's and won't go thru that hardship again.


The comments against the UPC is mostly of their own fault, they have elevated some of their own cultural teachings on the par to the Scriptures, just like the Pharisees did at the time of Jesus and that is the main problem.

This is found among all conservative org.s I've ever known.


The majority of the people in this forum are not against the Acts 2:38 message or the oneness message, but they are against the extra man-made rules that the UPCI has added to the gospel, those are the points of contention.

But I would argue that our generation, and more so my boy's gen, really need sets of rules laid out and to be kept in check of. On our very first Sunday that we spoke with our pastor, he asked what brought us there and what we expect to find... my reply to both was "discipline". Some have good control from the world, but without this I get sucked up into it.

Thanks for all the input everyone
