Resolution 4 was just a springboard
I posted this in another thread but feel like i should repost in my own. I don't agree that the organization will become more liberal due to UC's pulling out. Only a very small percentage of the ULTRA conservatives are going to pull out. And many of these were not participating in the organization at all anyway. There are many many conservative pastors who are staying with the upci and do not feel that this res.4 is even an issue in the big picture. These UC's who are beginning this new "fellowship" are simply losing sight of our goal. All of the time and energy wasted on this should be focused towards reaching our world. And I will go ahead and say this, 4 of the "officials" in the wpf, did not even bother to go to general conference and cast their vote. If they had, and just campaigned against it in a very small way, the resolution would not have passed. I think it is obvious then that they WANTED this resolution to pass because NOW they have an "issue" to springboard their "new organization. They wanted their own organization and have for a long time. This was all orchestrated. They were simply waiting for the right "issue" to arise that they could get all of the UC's stirred up over. While I do have respect for some of these men, I have to question their motives. Starting a new organization where ppl will STILL disagree over issues hardly seems the answer. I will now predict that the new fellowship will split again later. The question is are they simply Power hungry? I think so.
