Well I do think if you apart of a org,that says no tvs you should not have one and be a member of that org.

I would hope that spiritual maturity would encourage consistency across the various mediums, not discourage it.

UltraCon,

Do you believe that a man is lost if he has a television in his home and/or watches television somewhere else? Regardless of he is a minister or is affiliated or not?

Do you equate your stance on television as a biblical truth?

While I don't think TV is good for anybody I can't say that you'll be lost for watching it. If you came to our church it would be a different answer because we preach against. So yes if you were here and you had it i'd say that you were lost. I will say that I believe all UPC ministers that have and watch TV's are liars and I believe they'll have to answer for that one day. TV is the big topic but I feel the same way about all of the Articles of Faith that I signed saying I would believe in. There's a list on here somewhere, I think a UPC minister should live up to every one or simply leave the org. I hope this answers your question.

Do you ever drive over the speed limit? Or drive without wearing your seatbelt?

Off topic. Your questions have nothing to do with the original question of this thread. If one signs an affirmation statement, he/she agrees to abide by the by-laws of the org.
I do not plan on leaving the UPC one way or the other.

So this would be a matter of submitting to the pastor's authority, if someone was a member of your church?
