Where exactly the UPCI got tithing from?

The UPCI, WPF, AMF, etc… are man made organizations, they’re structured like the pyramid. What else do you expect from a man made organization? Do we expect something greater? Why, because they believe in Acts 2:38, One God so on and so forth.

We can complain about the bylaws of an organization, however do not become a part of it. You’re not saved because of a membership, you’re saved by his Spirit.

I used those examples as a way to say, man changes, man says one thing today and something different tomorrow. Maybe one day the UPCI changes its stance on giving. You may not believe in tithing today, but maybe someday you will. Time will tell….

I consider the UPCI, WPF, etc... people my brethren also. I have no problem with organized efforts, and fellowship. There is no problem with reforms if it makes us align better with the Biblical blueprint, but also, nothing wrong with determining what our true core beliefs are that unites us, and the ones that we allow variances about.
