How much information should the saints expect from their pastor?

This is what he has stated in numerous posts in this thread. There are two UPCI churches in this area who have people in their congregations who don't even know that the UPCI even has any rulings pro or con against television.
What do you do with that situation? "Oh, by the way, we now are allowed to view television." Pastors, elders, and ministers in the UPCI teach their people whatever is on their hearts to teach, and it has always been that way. I think trying to make an issue of this subject, is trying to close the stable door after your horse has left.



Have to tell what? What does anyone have to tell, or have not to tell? The Elder will preach and teach everything that he has always taught and he has never indoctrinated his people to be UPCI. They are taught to be Apostolic One God people, period. The Elder holds the card, and they are shouting and speaking in tongues lead by Jesus Christ, and never even caring about The Pentecostal Hearald, or even seeing a copy of the Forward.





The Elder already made it known on this forum that he is not holding anything back and if asked he would present his answer. Seems pretty simple.

In Jesus name

Brother, I'm not implying anything that CS is deceiving his people, so watch what you're saying! I simply responded to comments made by CS, which obviously touches a nerve, that he didn't have to tell his people anything about what goes on in the UPC. A post was placed on this thread quoting from the handbook that states the position of the UPC was if a pastor, which is licensed with the UPC, needs to have their church membership in the UPC!!! Hence, an affiliated UPC church!!! CS did not respond to this thread, but continued stating his church isn't UPC and he didn't have to tell them a thing! Brother, before you chastise me for simply wanting CS, or any UPC licensed minister with the UPC, to inform their people of what's happening in their "fellowship", look at ALL the posts and not just the ones you favor! Read all the posts and dear brother that includes you!
