It seems to me that we have become more lax in some areas where we should not and too strong in areas where we should not.

interesting.

Ferd,

This sentence speaks volumes!

Your comparisons bore me as they are intellectually lacking. Keep trying though. There are a few atrocities you have yet to compare the UPCI to.

Give him time.






Kidding, Dano. Sort of. You do have a tendency to make the UPCI out to be Nazis.

I think it got stronger because the 2nd work doctrine never really got out the Pentecostal movement, maybe in name only, but the idea that we can perfect something that can't be perfected still exists.

I think that Biblical view on sanctification to be a result of (or how shall I now live because this happened to me)

Bro. Alicea,

surely there could have been a better way to phrase this and a couple other statements you have made in this thread. Using words like incest, holocaust to describe the history of the events of the UPC I don't think are quite appropiate.

Love this thread! I attend the church founded by F.E. Curts, one of the presbyters named in the letter. While he had passed years before my birth, my grandparents came into the church under Bro. Curts and knew him well. Just to let you know his thoughts on the whole tv issue; I have a tape of him telling the congregation that he would personally buy anyone a television who would be willing to get rid of their telephone. He was a pioneer of Pentecost as well as a tremendous teacher of The Word.
