What stands out to me in Daves teaching is that he teaches the true foundation doctrines of Christ. Not just
Acts 2:38. He teaches obviously the multiple Eldership found in scripture. He teaches and is putting into practice the exhortations to the Churches to love one another by promoting and encouraging the Saints to meet regularly for fellowship not just Church meetings.
He teaches those solid rock Biblical foundations of the post tribulation rapture, the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment with accuracy that is not present in most Apostolic Churches.
So in short he may not have qualifications that men consider essential to be called a "Theologian" he teaches the full gospel foundations in truth. That cannot be said for many at all in our movement or anywhere else at this time.
I believe God is using him to influence lives of men and women who love truth. Whether he can influence many among the UPC remains to be seen. They seem like a hard group to move!
