From The General Board!
his was E-Mailed to me this morning...
General Board Ruling
February 26, 2008
Whereas there may be religious organizations or associations or fellowships formed that do not use the word ‘license’ or ‘ordination,’ yet for all intents and purposes have the same, or similar, function as those organizations who do use the word ‘license’ or ‘ordination,’ including the United Pentecostal Church International; and in keeping with the spirit and intent of the UPCI Manual; the General Board hereby offers this interpretation of Article VII, Section 2, paragraph 6:
Any religious organization or association that offers the same or similar benefits of the UPCI, requires payment of dues, and subscribing to a set of Articles of Faith in order to be a member, shall be interpreted as satisfying the description ‘to hold license or ordination with’ in Article VII, Section 2, paragraph 6, even though those specific words may not be used by said organization or association.
The Board finds that the WPF is such an organization for the purposes of Article VII Section 2 paragraph 6. It is the ruling of the Board that in the spirit and intent of that paragraph, it is therefore not proper for a minister to hold membership in both the UPCI and the WPF. The Board reiterates that the implementation of this ruling is, as always, in the hands of the District Boards to determine the timing and other aspects of that implementation.
God bless,

What did you expect? If somone cuts open an artery, the bleeding must be stopped. Many of the WPFers have already left. That is the natural path of future WPFers. To allow dual affiliation would further the influence to leave the UPCI, thus weakening the power of the UPCI to effectively evangelize the world through the collective efforts of its members.
We must remember who left whom first. In my opinion, the leadership of the WPF knew this would be the outcome, and hoped for it. That way, they could be viewed as the victims when this ruling was adopted.
