Why are UPC church's so sectarian?

If there is so much truth in UPC, then why are folks so threatened by others who do not believe the same. Truthfully, most married couples don't agree on everything, some republican and democrat, but still live in the same house. Why is it that UPC pastors discourage their saints to fellowship even with others who are more liberal than they are? My brother wants to know.

I could tell you, but I'd probably be banned.

My point exactly...why are you so defensive?

Not to mention that you would have to "smoke" him after you told him!

Probably due to fear of losing saints to the more liberal churches.

I love to attend UPC events/services, but they won't darken our doors. That part always hurts. I love to hang out with them, but they don't want to hang out with us.

If you have real truth and the power of the Holy Ghost, you shouldn't be afraid someone else will rub false doctrine off on you.

Fear of influence from those of lesser standards.
