Are you saying that the men left in the UPCI are not true men of God? Please tell me this isn't true, for if this is what you are saying then you are in a boat load of trouble in life.
Many churches have used TV as a mode of evangelism and are not Charismatic even before the res #4 vote. I would recommend taking your head out from the sand.
And if this is how you feel about the UPCI and want to lump everyone in this category let me tell you friend then even the Amish wouldn't want to fellowship with you.
Hello Blaylock, I made no reference to ministers who stayed in the UPC. I know God can still work in a United Pentecostal Church. I have friends and minister friends whom I believe to be "right with God" in the UPC.
I don't think my head is in the sand. I percieve you and I are very different in what we've been taught. I have no problem with people belonging to the upc.. I just do not care for the direction they seem to be heading. The most important thing I have is my soul and I will be very careful what I fellowship. Forgive me if I came across harsh or judgemental, that was not my intent. God bless.

Hello tstew,
I believe the men on the Executive Council are true Men of God. I do understand where your coming from. When the UPC was formed and or merged or when any other oneness organization has beed started I'm not sure if it could be done without upsetting people. I do not believe the WPF was started all because of the tv issue. The tv issue was just like the straw (brick) that broke the camels back. The WPF is just holding the standard where it has been (trying to go by the bilble and the upc manual) for years. I think we have to keep television out of the Church and its been proven that you cannot do that and use it for advertising and broadcasting. As far as going amish.. I'd rather by associated with the amish than the charismatics.
God Bless.

Bro Tim, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to hear your personal argument for banning advertisement on television while embracing almost unlimited utilization of the internet...including youtube broadcasts that are similar to TV in everyway except that it is on a computer monitor. And also do you know if the business owners involved in the WPF shun television advertising for their businesses as well. Also is there a stance against phones and other forms of technology that can receive television signals since even the definition of television that existed years ago is virtually obsolete.

Hi Br. Stewart, I in no way have all the answers, no one does. Technology is out pacing us. To me TV equals hollywood, and its all about making money. To me internet does not equal hollywood. I see internet as a tool. I was on-line for a couple years in the 90's, but I saw the confusion it caused and I didn't want to be a stumbling block for anyone, so I did not have internet for over 8 years. My wife and I recently decided to get on-line with some business opportunities were trying to make work. Internet is not going away, and I feel somewhat a responsibilty to my children, to try to learn, and teach them the right way to educate and be educated via the tools we have available to us. As I said I don't have all the answers. Niether do you, or anyone else on this subject. Internet should have blocks and you should be accountable for everything you do on-line. I do understand internet has the capabilty to be much worse then tv. But to me tv (hollywood) is always wrong and internet is not always wrong. Clear as mud huh??
Your UPC?
