Faulty, for sure. So how in the world does it survive? I know the UPC cringes at the "Cult" label, and I don't call the UPC a "Cult", but the same principles that empower cult leaders, also empower systems like the UPC that enforce meaningless rules that have zero biblical basis.

I meant your logic!
See, God's logic doesn't work like ours. (How many times have I been told that!) If He wants to lead some one way and others another way, that's His prerogative. If one pastor is led to forbid short sleeves and another is led to allow them, that's His business! Our faulty human minds must just accept it, without trying to make sense of it. Ya see.

I totally missed what you were talking about!! Oh well, it's not the first time I've been told I was using faulty human logic!!
I don't understand how all this garbage survives. I really don't.

To an extent I do believe this story. From members that I've seen from the mentioned church they had dyed and cut hair. I'm not passing judgment I'm just stating what I saw. Only God can judge.
That's very simple, you said "this is nothing new" referring to what this other person said about this church in houston as though what he said was true
Further you gave your approval by saying "I could understand if IT was a newer UPC"..."it" referring to the established church in houston.

I could understand if it was a newer upc church going that way but it's a well established church that's been there a good while. I wonder how much longer they'll be in the upc before they withdraw/kicked out?

That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
