Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Pro 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.
Pro 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
HUMBLY - NON UPC AND GLAD OF IT!

"Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God. Open your hearts to us; we have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one. I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together. I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you" 2 Corinthians 7:1-4
HUMBLY-PROUD OF WHAT MY BRETHREN IN THE UPCI HAVE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE CAUSE OF SPREADING THE APOSTOLIC DOCTRINE

*sigh*
I'm proud to be a child of God! Is that against the scripture posted above.
There's nothing wrong with saying you're proud to be a part of a fellowship. The scripture above certainly doesn't apply to it.
You have just as much pride in your statement "Humbly - non UPC and glad of it!" as there is in the screen name Proud2bUPC. It's disingenuous to say Proud2bUPC is wrong, but your statement is okay.
