i want to see upc thrive, but we need to have more effort for unity.

Hang around , if you haven't seen it yet , you will

either way like I said , as far as my district is concerned we are reaching out....Remember , the UPC did not remove those who are split, they left on their own...

I believe a revival of restoration (i'll call it) is coming to God's people. A Revival of Unity that will transcend organizations. I don't know how, and don't know when, but its imperative for our survival as a people of faith.

Unity is a subject that doesn't get much attention.

I can't find it, like i said I'm new, is there a link you can post?

Ageed, Bro Scott, but who are going to be the ones to decide what is salvational and what is not? Who is going to give up their own salvational doctrines?

A Utopian View of the Christ Body at large might be that everyone keep their own ideas but also tolerate and fellowship everyone else......except???? the trinitites, the TVites, the Hooverites, Catholicites, the Baptistoes, the Libitarians, the Dualitarians, the URarians, the Preteristos, the AOGites, the AG Harristites, the Epleyites, the Bro-Larites, .......and on and on it goes.

Isn't most everyone afraid that what others believe will defile them?

I believe you are right (see bolded) Bro OA, but will it take CJ's refiner's fire to get it done?

Most are unwilling to forfeit their traditions, therefore the "gospel of reconciliation" is not heard, therefore the masses languish in the broadway headlong to the refining fire. God isn't angry, He WAS in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself!!!! It is finished, therefore enter into LIFE.
