NEWS FLASH! The Cons getting cold Feet?????????????

[Thad]

( ( ( ( NEWS FLASH ) ) ) )


Just heard today that 2 Cons that had previously told their churches that if the resolution Passes, they were leaving UPC. WELL, on second thought, they have recanted this Idea and said they are not leaving after all !!!!!

WHY ????? well, from what i understand, they have been warned that other UPC churches would immediately be planted in their areas making such a decision a threat.

Did anyone see this coming ???? DO you think others will get cold feet ?

Hilarious.

The posturing is over, now is when we see if these men who threaten all of the time will keep their word or not.

Yea this is going to get interesting - I was wondering how some of them were going to add of the cost of the UPC coming in and starting New churches for disgruntled saints to run off to. hehe!

Is that a good thing? I mean you wouldn't look forward to seeing Brother's walk?

The idea unfortunately within some Organizations and districts is; if it's not smoke from my chimney then there's no real fire. I actually had a district board ask me to go into a town and start a work across the street from a non-organization church just to compete with them. I refused, and later I met that pastor, and God had granted him great revival, incidentally he later joined the organization.

Personally I wouldn't think it would be good for any Brothers to leave the United Pentecostal Church International. I think a closer growing together on the conference floor would help iron this problem out. I think advertising on television is not including the smaller churches so I think it is an issue only pertaining to larger churches and that should embarrass those larger churches because they are just self serving themselves and not the rest of their Brothers with this vote. It's sad that so many Brothers will argue the need for television within the UPCI when it will never benefit the whole organization, but ONLY a few larger churches.

United Pentecostal Brothers should be fervently seeking reconciliation with those who would want to leave. We should all be in prayer for the voting and that no matter what the turn out all will stay united and NOT divided.

EB, what do you do when they refuse to reconcile unless capitulation is involved. (Serious question, no malice involved here.)

I see you have pulled up the judgment seat. What makes you think the "Big Churches" are wanting it for just themselves? Could it be possible they want to reach the lost and see this as a usable tool? If a "big church" reached a lost person via TV and they in turn reach out to family and friends where there are "small churches", wouldn't it benefit those "small churches"? Besides large or small aren't we all the Church and what helps one helps all?
