Re: 5 Things AFF Doesn't Know About Me!
I have really enjoyed the testimonies and totally understand what you're saying about people being misunderstood. I often feel like people think I go around bashing the UPC all the time and that's not the case. I have heard former UPC members call it a cult and that just makes me cringe. Yes, I don't agree with all the standards and I see UPC churches that don't follow the standards but since I don't agree with them I chose not to attend a UPC church any more.
I have a rich Apostolic heritage that I'm proud of. My great grandmother pastored the first Apostolic church in the Charleston, WV area. My grandfather never considered himself a minister but he baptised many people and started a church in his home in Grand Rapids, MI. There was also a period of time when my grandparents were first married that they lived in Indiana and attended G.T. Haywood's church. I also have a sister who had a tumor on her face when she was young and she was prayed for and it disappeared. God has been good to me and my family!
