Principles are timeless; rules aren't. Unfortunately, many have tried to pretend that the rules are the principles, and tried to apply them as such, and it isn't working, hasn't been working, and isn't going to work in the future.
The only rules that ought to be concrete are the ones that come directly from the Word...oh wait...those rules should be the principles that determine all the other rules....hmmmm...did I say that right?
...another cup of coffee for me, I see....
Hmmmm....did we just say kind of the same thing, a little?
My coffee hasn't kicked in yet either.

For years we, in the UPC, have been labeled as a cult by a bunch of papists for two reasons.
1. Our stance on distinctives such as the essentiality of baptism and Holy Ghost infilling.
2. Our outward holiness standards.
I categorically reject those claims. They are baseless and unlearned charges.
With that being said, these fringe groups play into the hands of papists who claim "cult, cult" at every turn. A borg mentality permeates every action and reaction. Questions are viewed as rebellion and sinful.
