And I have to wonder if the heartbeat of the merger was not destroyed, or at least shattered, in '92...again, long before this past GC.
As for "doctrinal purity," you are speaking about men and women who helped make the UNITED Pentecostal Church, International what it was. Many were there at the ground floor and never changed their doctrine...they left with the same view they came in with.

I have pastored three churches, starting the first from scratch. No member had or has TV. Just as on who is an adulterous could not be a memeber, and just as one who is drunk, thief, and so on could not be a member. Those who have TV and take pleasure in those on the TV who do these things cannot be a member.
My family has always been of the PAJC and I didn't know until a few years ago that this other doctrine even existed. I believe that the merge was a BIG mistake. The PAJC should have never joined with those who believed and taught false doctrine.
