The UPC doesn't believe in 2nd marriage. They believe it's okay (in certain instances) to be remarried. Your phrasing implies they believe in polygamy.

I saw a youtube video where one of his readers read a letter from a person attending a UPC church who also watched Gino. The person said their UPC Pastor said Gino was too harsh. To which Gino responded that the person should leave their "false prophet" and UPC church. Then his other reader read the scripture "Come out from among them and be separate." For a man who 1) has by-laws against proselyting and causing division; 2) talks a lot of context and understanding what a scripture is saying before using it -- he's incredibly ignorant telling the person to leave their church and even more ignorant trying to apply that scripture to the UPC.

From the by-laws it appears everything must be approved by Gino before it can be read, quoted, referenced, etc by one of his ministers. That's just a tad ridiculous.
There's more in the by-laws which show he demands a lot of control over people who either want to be a minister or want to be a member of his church.
I would run from Gino and that church.
