Jesus had his reasons for used parables, etc. The prophet Nathan used a
story when confronting David of his sin. David got the point! He repented!
He didn't try to argue his way out! David feared God, which is the beginning
of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Sis Falla, like D4T said, your a precious lady, a saint of God, and I believe we will be together in heaven, along with many others who have trusted in Christs blood to atone for their sins, who may not agree with either of us.
What really gets me from the UPC crowd, is that as long as we just follow the rank and file like "that ants go marching one by one hurah, hurah" then were considered sensative spiritual saints of God.
But the moment we get on our faces in prayer and study the Word of God and come to a conclusion DIFFERENT than that of a denomination that hasn't even existed for a century, and a salvation doctrine that wasn't even prominent until the 1960's, THEN all of a sudden were not sensative to the Spirit, rebellious, backslid, charismatic, pagan, or whatever.
Why, because we seek a christianity that makes sense with the bible and with what we observe.
When I see people who truly repent of their sins and "seek" for the Holy Ghost and leave the alter with "nothing" and some do this for YEARS, some DIE "seeking", "almost" getting it,and the such like, all the while all of this flies in direct contradiction to what Jesus said in
Luke 11, I ain't buy it.
IS GOD A LIAR??????????????
If He said that if our children ask a fish will we give them a serpant?....then how much MORE will your heavenly Father give the Holy Ghost to those who ASK Him.
In the initial evidence doctrine there are THOUSANDS, perhaps MILLIONS who have asked the heavenly Father for the Holy Ghost AND he has given them NOTHING. And don't say they didn't repent, not all did, but pleny have, and even submitted to Jesus name baptism.
The doctrine doesn't make biblical sense, and its about time somebody deals with it honestly, or the older generation can keep their heads in the sand and lose the yonger generation, the latter seems to be the course of action for the UPC.
