A very Ultra Conservative UPC Pastor told one of his saints that if he were to go to another UPC down the street that is not as strict as theirs....he might as well not go to church at all.

Our "holiness" was impecable...no one else was rightous as we were.
It was declared from the pulpit that if you want to go to hell just leave this church and go to Br. ******* church.
Both churches were UPC BTW.
This type of behavior should not once be named among us.
Sadly that is not the case.
Competitive holiness is rampant among oneness pentecostals.
It's a stench in God's nostrils.
I believe you, no need to swear it.
Nevertheless, at present (until Book 'em returns) we have no idea if this happened yesterday or 10 years ago. We have no idea what the context of the conversation was and what the heart of the pastor who said it is truly like.
All else is surmise.
