Raised UPC and love my past and all of the teaching and experiences , but must still agree that there is not always proper emphasis on what I consider the basics. I daresay everyone could use the Baptist foundation and then add the Acts 2:38 experience and we would produce healthier Christians.

In the natural the government has RDA standards for nutrition, but these are based on everyone first consuming a proper diet and -------- then these are the required nutrients. But we as Americans do not eat all of the necessary fruits and veggies, so the graph is faulty.

In the spiritual, we put all of the focus on Acts 2:38, but this is with the assumption that we have the prior basic scriptural knowledge. I truly think the UPC glosses over some of the preliminary steps.

Nothing wrong with learning to crawl before we walk.
