By the way, can any "this is not an organization" WPF'rs explain this clause in the WPF articles of faith? "c) The Executive Chairman of Worldwide Pentecostal Fellowship may not be a member of any other religious organization except WPF."
What does this mean? I understand that all of us non-WPFers are too slow witted to understand that what is so clear to the rest of you, how an organization complete with all the apparatus of the UPCI, AofG, SBC, or any other organization is not an organization.
But this little article, for one, has me stumped.

NW Pastor, me thinks you are too funny!
Why does everything have to be a conspiracy?
Logically, it would make perfect sense to bar the Head of the WPF from membership in any "organization." If the purpose of the WPF is as they have stated, to promote fellowship with like minded brethren without regard to organizational affiliation, then for their General Chairman to hold credentials with someone else could potentially cause disunity.
If I left the UPCI because I felt it had went liberal, and I was looking at the WPF as an alternative, and found out the leading man was a member of the organization I just left, I may not want to join. However, if he is neutral, then no one can accuse him of favoritism to one group or another.
Secondly, if the General Chairman of the WPF could belong to an organization while serving as the GC, he could potentially allow that organization to influence the direction of the WPF during his leadership. JMHO
