I could (but won't) sit here and write quite a "laundry list" of practices and rituals which even the UPCI indulges in that are simply non-biblical, but I will list just this one:
I noted in the most recent edition of the Pentecostal Herald (have always subscribed to it, although I left the UPCI more than 15 years ago), that this Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal ministerial alliance has now decided to enter the business of finances - put your money in their CDs so that it can be used to finance missionary endeavors, and realize a monetary gain. Where does one find the first-century church doing such a thing?
Nuf said already!

Interesting! Wonder if this will affect their "not for profit" status?
