I tried to show you from the 1954 Pentecostal Herald that they celebrated Christmas.
They were the what? Holiness movement goes farther back then that, try 2000 years.

Puritans did it before the UPCI was formed. The Puritans outlawed xmas before any of the framers of the UPCI bylaws were born.

But junior minds in their midst that look for anything to gain extra ground in the name of a deeper committment to Christ.

The real minds in the organization would laugh at your petty grasp to show your arrogant sheaths and the casting away of Christ.
Cast away Christ? You're being ridiculous now, so now if someone doesn't celebrate xmas they are casting away Christ.

Where are the commandments for each and every fettish you call standards?

Interesting and all is in the Bible, but celebrating the birth of Christ, or His baptism, or his crucifixion with festivals we have NO SUCH TEACHING.

You borrowed it all from the Catholics.

Hey, look at it this way, it just makes the transition easier when you finally return.

In Jesus name
