Anything More Important Than the HMH Debate?
As far as false doctrine and imminent threats to the church goes... Do you think "Magic Hair" is an Achilles Heel of sorts?
For me, concerns about HMH "holy magic hair" is not at the top of the list.
I am far more concerned about radical sectarianism in the UPC.
We have evolved into something of a group that has difficulty seeing the work of Christ outside the Oneness Pentecostal movements.
Among the Oneness Pentecostals we even ostracize those who share the views of many of our founders on salvation.
The language and interpretation of the AOF also reflect this.
We reject those "Charismatics" yet many of our teachers still embrace teachings that we should have outgrown by now. How many are teaching
"God does not want you to be sick"?
or
"God wants to bless you with wealth"?
or
"You can have whatever you want tonight!"?
How many teach that they absolutely know the will of God in these things, and the missing component is simply the individuals faith?
Where is the sovereignty of God in all this?
