Matters of the soul are never ever to be taken lightly and contrary to what others say, and you know me, I could care less what they think. Standards do not make you Apostolic...the Acts 2:38 message makes you Apostolic.
Stay Apostolic in that sense...you dont have to be UPC to be saved or Apostolic...but you MUST...hear me my friend...you MUST no sway from the foundation of the church.
If you do...you are not a "believer"...you are a denier..and that is a scary place to be.
Pray about this...dont fall into the "Im sincere" group...dont just be sincere...be right!

Love you much and pray Gods strength and wisdom during this CRUCIAL point in your Christian walk.

Ahhh...this brings up an interesting question. Is it better to go to a church where Acts 2:38 is not preached (as the way of salvation) or is it better to not go to church at all? Isn't that why Coop has been unchurched for years?

Maybe I am not a believer. Maybe I AM a denier as you say. When one finds out that what they were taught for years as "Truth" was in fact "lies", would they not then by rights question EVERYTHING that supposedly wore the label of truth?

I can just see all of you out there shaking your heads at the computer while you read this, and praying "Oh Lord, help her, now she's questioning the doctrine. She is so deceived..."

Honestly. Why is Acts 2:38 above question?

Right now, these are the only things that I know to be Truth:

God Is.

Jesus is God.

Receving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost changed me inside.

I can make no claims about the Bible, or salvation doctorine, or the church.
