The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity, according to the different circumstances of civil society. A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good. So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts.
This post might get me in trouble but
Didn't Johnny Godair say he wasn't leaving the UPC? Didn't he tell preachers at different conferences that he wasn't going anywhere??
Didn't Booker say he had no intention of starting another organization?
Wasn't it said that Wilson would NEVER leave the UPC?
Haven't A LOT of them said things that have now been proven to be untrue?
What do you call it when people say one thing and then do another?
hmm...
I'm calling out all you Tulsa defenders! A few months ago, you guys wanted to pretend like nothing was going on but just a simple fellowship of "like minded" ministers....what do you have to say now?

Maybe they just changed their minds over time.

Why are there some who seem to enjoy or "entertain" themselves with christian disunity?
Is the woes of a christian organization "entertaining" to you? Does hardship within the body of Christ please you? Are you really that shallow? Do you lack the love of Christ so much that this low is all you have left? Oh, and let me guess, this demeaning attitude is a sign of the salvation you have? Now there is something to laugh at.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
