Over all, however, I agree with your "rant." It is "easier" to get "saved" in a UPC style church than it is to "stay saved." That's why we cycle through so many people. The whole org seems designed to chew up human beings and spit them out. There's really very little about actually living in grace.
If you don't like the "standards," no problem. Get Out! We'll find another poor sucker to fill your pew.

If this were the case, wouldn't there be a lot of independent Oneness. 1 step, no standard churches that are packed?
