And so....the whole formula can be faked, no matter if it's UPC, ALJC, PAW or whatever the name of the organization may be. It is very easy to fake repentance, baptism, tongues and the following of standards with no spirituality connected to it whatsoever even though it is used as a stick to measure people's connectedness to God.

Please. Why go through the trouble of all that when it's much easier to fake it in a denominal church. No need for baptism or Holy Ghost or living separate from the world. Say a prayer and keep living how you want to live.
Of course people can fake it. Though I reject your claim that a great many do so.
And what's constructive about this? Other than saying....oooooh the UPC fakes it, which isn't true. How do you know? Did you? Why are you judging people?
