Re: The Grace to leave and be gone...

I think the UPC with all their faults and failures have done more to promote missions than any group I know about for a long consistent time.
I do not belong but I do not speak evil of them for they have done far more than I will even dream of doing.
Do I know a few shady things yeah...I do...but even so often our own actions are misunderstood...
I think of all the hundreds that I have fed, clothed, bought things for them and yet some go away spitting fire...You just cannot please everybody.
A leader is up for target...and some enjoy the killing part.
I am not saying they did not have a reason to leave...of course they did if they preach different than the UPC. I have good friends that left and good friends that stayed. I see no problem with forming as many groups as they want to be formed...just do it gracefully and many are doing just that.
However we have a saying in Brazil, "Don´t spit in the plate where you ate."

Re: The Grace to leave and be gone...

If I stand against error I always want to make sure am I standing for truth against error or is this personal vendetta? Do I condemn in my enemies what I condone in my friends that is the test of truth?

Everyone that ever does a work for God will have friends and enemies...Jesus had them too!
Sometimes we work better apart than together...

Some how Br. if one speaks out against false doctrine you are declared bitter and that you have a vendetta. I know you were not referring to me but this is what one is confronted with when they speak out. The UPCI is not my enemy. I have many friends and relatives that still go to or belong as ministers. When I confront them with only those that obey acts 2:38 completely and believe that it is necessary will be in heaven. I am told you shouldn't judge.
As I watched a small portion of Kennith Haney's message last night I heard him say that those in the UPCI should be strong on doctrine. I wonder, which doctrine was he talking about? Acts 2:38, friends of the bride, saved at repentance and last but not least the light doctrine? All of these doctrine are believed and taught one way or another in the UPCI.
I know there are some churches that still believe the 3 step message. We are judged by the company we keep.

Believe me I am not bitter I have nothing to be bitter about. I left over truth not some problem. I love the truth and as long as I have breath I will speak out against false doctrine.
