The fact is there are two different issues that went on in the UPC and one of them was in fact about snubbing others for any slight divergence in doctrine.

I witness it here where a former UPC in a neighboring city would never fellowship with us when the were UPC. Their pastor regularly throttled our church and pastor to his congregation.

We preached the whole 3 stepper ball of wax with standards. That did not matter as the pastor still found something he did not like about us and my pastor.

Yet 2 groups met and agreed to form an organization despite 1 group being 3 step and the other 1. They agreed NOT to contend for their differences.
