That's not true, that is just your perception. Also you haven't been to every UPCI or Apostolic church. So, you are limited only to the one who were associated with. Bad experiences send people from Baptist to Pentecost, from Pentecost to Baptist to the hodgepodge of the re-examiner church. Ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of Truth. Don't get me wrong, re-examining is a part of learning. Just don't think everyone draws the same conclusion you do. Also, gleaning from the heros of Protestant movement is re-examining. It is called shopping for answers. Which Jesus called the blind leading the blind. J. R. R. Tolkien coined the phrase "out of the frying pan and into the fire"

OK, you believe that the UPCI/Apostolic movement to be Antichrist system. Allow me to point something out to you. Your words were
"Y'all misunderstand any opposition to your system/method to be opposition to Christ himself." This is the definition of antichrist, because as you know antichrist means in the position of Christ or as His opposition. Actually you believe the UPCI and Apostolic Pentecostal movement is Satanic. I don't mean that you believe that they are conjuring up the devil. But the word Satan means adversary.Since you believe the UPCI and Apostolic Pentecostal movement's system/method to be opposition to Christ himself. Therefore you would logically agree they are adversarial to Christ, hence being Satanic as in adversely opposed to Christ.
