EXACTLY!!!!
It could be a situation where a couple in the church had an affair and before the rumor mill gets done with it the pastor is condoning wife swapping.
I have been around Pentecost long enough to have seen how this rumor mill works.
Usualy good honest people are involved but each time it is told it gets changed just a little or misunderstood a little and before you know it a whole new reality exists.
Do I believe fornication and adultery happens in Pentecostal churches? Absolutely but not often and I don't think wife swapping is happening in a UPC church and being done openly.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
