The South Texas District has allegedly moved quickly to place various ministers in the NCO and ex UPCI mega church pastor in San Antonio under question.
Various UPCI evangelists have received letters reprimanding them for preaching for various churches in the area from the South Texas District and their Supt....
Of course ... how were they to know????
This apparently was the goal of Resolution 3 when it passed at the last GC .... and we are now seeing the much talked about anticipated results ...
Some of the ministers placed under question left years ago .... btw.
I'm sure California will be moving quickly or already has places some the WPF guys under question ...
Resolution 3 was invoked in Miss. by their Supt ... last fall ... for more on this read this thread:

Lastly, if you are not sure what Res. 3 states, it reads:
Whereas there has not been a clear definition of the terms "under question" and "conduct unbecoming a minister," and
Whereas there seems to be a difference in these terms,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that article VII, Section 7, Paragraph 21 is changed to read as follows:
21. No minister who withdraws or is dropped from our fellowship, whose conduct is under question, shall be allowed to preach for any of our ministers, nor pastor any of our churches. Neither shall any minister of the United Pentecostal Church International fellowship be allowed to preach or participate in any form in any services (except funerals and weddings) sponsored or conducted by any minister who has withdrawn or been dropped, whose conduct is under question. This does not apply to anyone being used in any capacity in his or her local assembly, with the exception of the position of associate pastor or assistant pastor.
(a)
The term "under question" shall be taken to mean a formal decision by a District Board reflecting a concern that conduct in flagrant violation of the Manual of the United Pentecostal Church International has occurred.
(b)
The term "conduct unbecoming a minister" shall be taken to mean any conduct of a moral, financial, or ethical nature that would cause a reproach upon the ministry.
