What would you like to ask David Bernard?

I don't mean this thread as a trash and bash on the UPC or any individual and I ask that we try not to go that way...but I've always had questions I could never do anything about in regards to the UPC.

One of my questions is, why does the UPC manual state we reject all extra biblical writings and view creeds and articles of faith as the writing of men yet we have our own Articles of faith? Do you know how confusing that sounds not just to me as a Oneness Pentecostal but to outsiders?

  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Not to mention having to sign an affirmation statement! I think it would be appropriate for all of the UPC ministers not to sign the affirm the affirmation statement citing the articles of faith. (LOL!!)

What would I ask?

"Who are you?" No, really. I would. I would not recognize him if he was standing in front of me and said "My name is David".

While I have met Brother Bernard, I do not know him personally, but I suspect that if anyone has a question that would be asked in a respectful and serious manner, by phone, Brother Bernard would be willing to answer that question.

Re: What would you like to ask David Bernard?

My next question is, why have an article of faith and NOT include it as our doctrinal statement on the UPCI website? Why print a bunch of tracts instead? Do you know how cheasy that looks?

I would ask him what is his favorite Austin area BBQ joint? Better yet his top three.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
