So you are going to have to do a little better connecting the dots than to say "There is a great hurly-burly" in the PAW about trinitarianism. You need to bring forth a logical reasoning process as to WHY televistion should have ANYTHING to do with Oneness other than....well in the PAW some got loose on standards (even though not all are) and now they *might* accept some form of trinitarians fellowship. Thre are trinitarian groups that are holiness standards all over. Your reasoning process leaves a lot to be desired.

My reasoning is fairly simple. Let me clarify for you... when you see things like the PAW's recent vote that almost kicked the doors open to say, "False doctrine doesn't matter" you start seeing why other Apostolics (not just UPC either) are quick to get nervous about people who want to erase the lines of Apostolic distinctives - whether they be Resolution 4 or anything else.

There is a faction of the Apostolic movement that are concerned about the 'direction' our movement will go if we keep saying, "Well, this doesn't matter anymore and that doesn't matter anymore".

When you see a well established group like the PAW that can even remotely consider false doctrine as a viable option... well... many Apostolics can't help but wonder "Is this where we'll eventually end up?"
