For me it would take a paradim change in the culture brought on by a change in the attitudes and perceptions of the entire organization toward mandating and defining a corporate holiness.

It would take the church giving holiness back to the saints of the living God for me to get back to it.

What I said is not very easy to reconcile, it has roots going to China...

Hi,For me to start fellowship with them,first change the name of the church.The Church in the word of God was never referred to as United Pentecostal church.Pentecost is a day not a church.Next start teaching all the truth.

1 John3:3: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.4: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.5: And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.6: Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him
