The UPCI Needs a Healer
RKS,

I can appreciate your persepctive and no doubt there are many mods in the middle who wish those to the left and right of them would just ignore all of their differences and get along.

The problem is that the very nature of conservatives beliefs prohibits them from tolerating things that many mods/libs are going to do.

Do you honestly think that suddenly mods/libs are going to change the music they use, forego video image magnification at meetings, video recording, special lighting, etc just because conservatives see the bogeyman behind everything?

You need to open your eyes and acknowledge that this split has been a long time coming and involves a lot more than just Res 4.

To artificially force these people to remain in the same org. through some sort of appeal from a "unifier" would just be prolonging the inevitable.

Now THIS is substantial! Based on this, I understand what you are saying, and would tend to agree with you.

He still doesn't respond to anybody that questions his thesis. He only seems to be responding to the amen corner. Why am I not surprised someone making broad dramatic statements can't actually discuss that statement.

We listened, Bro. All we heard was "The only healing is for KH to reverse the decision of the constituency"...........now, to say that a person or persons who are greatly respected by the entire organization can work to bring the right and left back together, that's substantial. And, if that could happen, I think it would be a great thing. That's a great example of "healing".

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Talking

The UPCI needs revival. For too many years, we have focused on man made doctrines, made scriptures mean what we wanted, and followed traditions of men. Now we have a multitude of people that have focused on the outward but will not get 2 feet off of the ground when the rapture takes place because their hearts are so corrupt.

I cannot begin to tell you of the garbage that is swept under the rug by many district officials, pastors wives wear ski suits on vacation, pastors wear shorts to the beach on vacation, and many pastors sneak off to watch tv at relatives and friends home. There are tons that in their heart do not believe the message deep down but have the outward appearance in line.

What the UPCI needs is a heart change on the inside and experience revival and throw the politics out!

Praise God! I am finished for now.
