16 Questions - Mailing to UPCI Ministers

[tv1a]

The "holiness" position of the upci is a dress code. I know one district official in an unamed state who cannot effectively present his case for a dress code other than it has been that way for years.

For many the upci identity is tied up into 4 things. One God. Dress Code. Acts 2:38. No television.

The upci is not known for world evangelism. The upci is not known for great revivals.

Traditionalism the devil's last grasp at keeping the church below it's God given potential. The devil knows when the church discovers God is a God of principle, unprecedent revival will break out.

I hope they do a better job on tv commercials than on the radio commercials the youth division put out a few years ago.. Very sloppy... most of the spots went over 30 seconds. Those under 30 seconds left little time to put the church name in the tag. Get a little more professionalism in the production and it could become a viable option.

Define another One-God Jesus-Name Org that is ON TV and having revival then.

Your argument is emotions.

No not as long as they don't use video.
