if that's the specifics you are looking for, i think that's it in a nut shell. traditional pentecost goes by appearance but then again you do too PM . maybe in another way but you do .

This is my GUESS on how UCs prioritize fellowship:
1. Holiness Standards
If you don't have the "look" of American holiness, there's no need to even examine the rest!

2. Strong Acts 2:38 3 step salvation plan
If you don't line up at this level, no need to go any farther!

3. Church uses TV for outreach
If you pass the first two tests, but use TV for outreach, no need to go farther!

4. TVs in saints homes
Some UCs will fellowship churches where some saints may have TVs, but some draw the line here!

5. Lively Worship
Even if you pass all of the above, some will not fellowship if your services are not lively.

6. Church organization affiliation
Some UCs will not fellowship you because you are guilty by association!

7. Apostolic (Pentecostal) in Doctrine
If you don't make it this far, you might as well be Buddist or Muslim!


How did I do??????

you pretty well summed it up

I agree with NO. 4 - however, this is more the case with a Con not an ultra con.

seriously, many UCs give people 2 weeks to get rid of their TVs. if you don't, you're a gonner.

I believe you!

As far as standards, for myself it doesn't matter how strict the members look as long as they don't require the same from me or my family!

Easy, I only fellowship those who are willing to pick up the check.

There are really only 6 people who I could careless about fellowshiping with. If you are NOT one of those 6, let's fellowship. Any color, religion, nationality, we are all God's children.

I hope that I am not one of those 6 delta soundman! It would pain me to know I didn't make the list! It's bad enough that the UPC has to pass a resolution to blacklist people. As far as I'm concerned, they've been doing it for years!

Hope I am not one of those six either...

How do I determine who I fellowship?

The first sign I look for in a person is the LOVE of GOD...for by this shall all men know ye are HIS disciples...
