As I stated earlier. It could be signed but there are gray areas. A Minister is not the only one living in a home - nor is he always in charge of all the living quarters etc.

Does signing the affirmation imply one agrees with all the AOF? If so, then I suppose most would not be in 100% full agreement.

In my opinion, if you don't agree with it, you shouldn't sign it. If enough would not sign it, they would have to change it. Or something.

Quiet Place if they don't agree and sign then they would leave.... and leave things as is, instead of staying, signing but not abiding, and then changing from within....

If he isn't the one in charge of the home then should he even be fulfilling the call? And no you might not agree 100% but by signing you should abide.

If you are a former UPCI member, I guess you can answer based on the teaching and preaching of you last church.
I would do the poll, but I honestly do not know if my pastor has a TV or not. I don't care one way or the other, as long as he preaches out of the Bible

Re: Poll for UPCI member/preachers only

I imagine that my Pastor does not have a TV in his home but he does not preach against having a tv per se.


I have heard many refs to just being vigilant about what you watch and what you allow into the home.

I don't consider my Pastor to be legalistic.

I do consider him to be wise and compassionate.

Hey there! Nice to see you come back and post.

As to being in charge of the home... this could get complicated in an organization that ordains women...

As to agreeing... I perceive MOST do not agree nor teach the section under Conscientious Scruples .

Then I seriously doubt any could sign it. I doubt the AOF fully reflects any minister's views in all the issues it addresses.

Audience of One was made in San Francisco! (BTW, Pastor Gazowsky actually likes the film made about his film project, and has been to screenings to answer questions from the audience!)
