These posts really uplifted me this am. I have been disturbed by some of the posts of late and frankly disappointed in some. Sis. A you were used this morning and I want to thank you for listening to the voice of God and moving in the spirit.
I think the UPC with all their faults and failures have done more to promote missions than any group I know about for a long consistent time.
I do not belong but I do not speak evil of them for they have done far more than I will even dream of doing.
Do I know a few shady things yeah...I do...but even so often our own actions are misunderstood...
I think of all the hundreds that I have fed, clothed, bought things for them and yet some go away spitting fire...You just cannot please everybody.
A leader is up for target...and some enjoy the killing part.
I am not saying they did not have a reason to leave...of course they did if they preach different than the UPC. I have good friends that left and good friends that stayed. I see no problem with forming as many groups as they want to be formed...just do it gracefully and many are doing just that.
However we have a saying in Brazil, "Don´t spit in the plate where you ate."

If I stand against error I always want to make sure am I standing for truth against error or is this personal vendetta? Do I condemn in my enemies what I condone in my friends that is the test of truth?

Some how Br. if one speaks out against false doctrine you are declared bitter and that you have a vendetta. I know you were not referring to me but this is what one is confronted with when they speak out. The UPCI is not my enemy. I have many friends and relatives that still go to or belong as ministers. When I confront them with only those that obey acts 2:38 completely and believe that it is necessary will be in heaven. I am told you shouldn't judge.
As I watched a small portion of Kennith Haney's message last night I heard him say that those in the UPCI should be strong on doctrine. I wonder, which doctrine was he talking about? Acts 2:38, friends of the bride, saved at repentance and last but not least the light doctrine? All of these doctrine are believed and taught one way or another in the UPCI.
I know there are some churches that still believe the 3 step message. We are judged by the company we keep.
Believe me I am not bitter I have nothing to be bitter about. I left over truth not some problem. I love the truth and as long as I have breath I will speak out against false doctrine.
