If Rex Johnson doesn't preach what the UPC believes and endorses, he should probably find another Ministerial Fellowship to join up with! That being said, I would love it if things would change in the UPC, but I just don't see that happening. Now people are leaving in groves...it's sad and scary and exciting at the same time!

I personally love TFT and Rex Johnson! I think they are GREAT men of God and I believe wholeheartedly that they love God and they want what is the best for God's children!

I do not agree. When the fundamental doctrine has provision made for different views, how much more should we admonish "all the brethren that they shall not contend for their different views to the disunity of the body."

There needs to be room for the RJ's in the UPC - even if it means returning to the old paths and changing the tolerance level and language to what it once was.
