I have been a member of the Spiritual Abuse group for many years.
I think there is a real need for that group and many have come there for healing and help and fellowship.

Recently someone (a UPC minister) called a local non-UPC minister to inform him that he saw that I was part of the Spiritual Abuse group on Facebook and it was an "anti-UPC" group.

Some times the posts become pretty strong against the "UPC" on the online forum (not Face book). I've written some pretty strong stuff on there myself. But a lot of people have been seriously injured in some of our Apostolic (including UPC) churches and some times people lash out against their abusers.
Sometimes the anti UPC comments injure members too. It needs to be done with the right attitude

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
